Pros: Great benefits are always good.

Cons: Not bad. More work.

Pros: - Decent pay - Good learning opportunities for entry-level engineers - Good WLB depending on team - Bigger scope for work depending on org/team

Cons: - Toxic managers often don't know how tech works but blame people when delivery is delayed. Most non-technical managers (coming from TPM, non-SDE roles) handle tech teams and blame team members without understanding tech concepts. They are never supportive, only caring about project delivery, which can lead to launching bad products. - A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) can be targeted at good performers due to unregretted attrition (URA) quotas. This is done as part of OLR meetings through stack ranking, potentially causing a PIP without a fair explanation. The statements in PIP documents use vague terms and do not clarify performance metrics. Bad managers use favoritism when targeting someone for a PIP. If you are very close to your manager, the probability of getting a PIP is lower than for someone who is not talkative to their manager. - The average tenure for SDEs is the lowest among other FAANG companies (you know why).

Pros: Good location in NYC. Free coffee.

Cons: Terrible managers. Not really smart managers.
