Pros

Solid culture and leadership principles. It's in our DNA. Lots of smart and passionate people. Most, if not all, decisions are backed by data.

Very supportive tooling and processes help to make it easier to do meticulous managerial tasks (promotion & performance reviews).

Great opportunities to make impacts at all levels.

Cons
  • Hiring freezes are tough for everyone.
  • Layoff rounds make it worse.
  • Benefits and perks were subpar compared to other giant tech.
  • Some organizations were messier than others.
