Pros: Focus on profitability, interesting problems, and smart coworkers.

Cons: Very demanding work schedule, demo-oriented engineering, and a bit of myopia when it comes to planning.

Pros: - Amazing team of people that work hard, move fast, and are very enjoyable to be around. Absolutely loved all the teams I've been on. - Abundant opportunities and room for growth, especially for folks early in their career. - International scope and opportunities to travel for work. - Solid execution and top-down transparency on the overall business and key decisions. - Impactful products and problems; felt easy to align my values and priorities with the company's mission and values. - Great benefits and generally flexible and understanding when you need to prioritize other parts of life, be it health, family, etc.

Cons: Workload can be tough to balance. It can take some time to learn how to self-regulate and find a sweet spot that works for you. Limited resources and rapid changes, as priorities can change quickly.

Pros: - Amazing team that is really smart, from really great backgrounds (lots of Google/Waymo, as well as other top tech companies like Apple/Airbnb/etc.). - Leadership is great, with strong transparency and a feedback loop. - Fast-paced environment with lots of ownership - great for those who feel like Google/big tech is too slow-paced or not impactful enough.

Cons: A fast-paced environment can mean that on some days, WLB might not be the best. However, management is aware of that. For example, we got all of Thanksgiving week off, even though the whole week wasn't scheduled as a holiday.
