Pros: Would have loved to find any :(

Cons: Horrible work-life balance. Politics. South Asia domination.

Pros: I worked with a few teams during my time and always had good managers, teammates, and work-life balance. I was able to work on a diverse array of products spanning offline, online, backend, frontend, and ML, which gave me a great starting point in my career to become a jack of all trades and learn about what I was interested in more.

Cons: My story is not applicable to all teams. Other teams within my org had terrible work-life balance and would need to work with multiple other teams that didn't have a good understanding of the tech. As much as I liked my teammates and manager, I have had issues with PMs where they weren't that good but were so senior that they had a death grip on the product. They promote drinking the Kool-Aid. Most conversations and docs are centered around the leadership principles. They have a strong emphasis on self-driven promotion, which can help curb discrimination but I found to be a burden and an excuse for your manager to be less invested in you.

Pros: Good learning curve and good projects to do.

Cons: Hectic work and work-life balance
