Great place to build a nest egg then quit to a LCOL area
There was high pay and opportunities for career growth. The work was challenging, and the culture is team-dependent. Through the luck of the draw, you can get placed on a great team.
The company pays lip service to its values but doesn't practice them. In aggregate, the company is diverse, but the majority of teams are made up of one demographic, and it quickly gets less diverse as you go up the management chain. Getting placed on a bad team can be life-ruining. It claims to be "the biggest startup in the world" and encourages people to "move fast and break things," but the majority of the job is navigating bureaucracy. Middle and upper management constantly lie through their teeth regarding RTO, layoffs, and other matters.
Bring back WFH.
