Pros

Benefits are good. Talented team members. A lot of opportunities to work on interesting problems and improve technical skills.

Cons

Culture is toxic due to bad incentives for managers.

  • Stack ranking during performance reviews.
  • Top-down mandates like return to office, resulting in bad morale.
  • It is challenging to have work-life balance.
  • Constant re-orgs.
