Great impact—your work reaches a couple hundred million people.

Good for fresh grads who can give it all and sacrifice their personal life.

No real mentorship. New joinees have to find their way out. Extremely lofty goals, expected to think of ways to solve problems on commute/shower. This was something my manager often communicated, hinting at taking up tasks beyond tightly planned scrum deadlines. No room for unexpected delays due to inter-team integration issues – get chastised in appraisals for the same.

Felt like an insatiable taskmaster. I used to work from 10:30 am to 10 pm every day, and I clearly fell short since I didn't work on the weekends or was not smart enough.

Please have empathy towards employees. Yes, they are humans.
