Good to have on your resume. Great TC as compared to most companies, if you are consistently in the top bucket when they do talent review. Good if you can find a good manager and a good team.

No work-life balance. On-call is the worst, especially if you’re on critical teams.

A lot of talk, not much action when it comes to doing actual feature work. Everyone wants to talk about it and insist on writing documents after documents to align with how many other engineers with infinite opinions to share.

Disguised as a data-driven company, but most impactful decisions are usually just what leadership wants to do, especially in the recent fiasco with RTO and RTO with the CEO’s “judgment call.”

Doesn’t matter what your performance is or your tenure with the company, they will not hesitate to screw you over if they want to.

Speak up about something that you think is wrong, instead of just following commands from the top.
