Pros

You learn a lot (at least for me) about software engineering and best practices. You also grow as a leader, driving and making decisions.

You're always in a career discussion with your manager about your next level. They make you have that in mind (at least in the first levels).

Cons

Sometimes you need to work in Seattle hours when you need something from partner teams.

Salary is relatively low compared to other FAANG companies.

No free lunch and benefits like other FAANG companies.

Advice to Management

Don't be stingy with benefits and office policies; you won't retain your best talent.
