Pros: Good work-life balance and decent compensation. My team was awesome as well.

Cons: Bad upward mobility. Coworkers are basically competition. They can get rid of you at any time.

Pros: Great benefits, a wide range of technologies to work on. Open-source software and tools are greatly utilized. Evolving is highly encouraged and supported.

Cons: Very competitive. Always have to self-promote your work and achievements rigorously. Doing your job is not always enough.

Pros: - Good salary for the area, although not good enough for the toxicity. - Decent tech/experience.

Cons: Talent is pretty mediocre. Some of the people are awful engineers, not very bright people, but as widely established, performance management is less about how good you are and more about politics. Performance management is a subjective mess twice a year. You will constantly worry about potentially not having a job in 3-4 months. You have to go through a 2-4 week review process for any changes you want to make. It’s an engineer’s nightmare come true, even for the most simple changes. "Eliminate arbitrary uniqueness." So let’s create 20 enterprise platforms that barely work, are non-deterministic, and make it where engineers are bottlenecked by the platform team as opposed to using open-sourced, widely adopted industry tools that people can find support for online. Nice job, tech leadership. What a stupid idea.
