Pros

Met some great people! The CODA and TDP programs provide a lot of resources for junior associates.

A good spot to learn and get your feet under you post-college.

Some of the projects are quite interesting!

I love the way my team works with the product team.

There's a lot of opportunity for internal mobility so you can try something new and switch things up.

It's a big company, but it's surprising how often you end up working with the same people across different teams.

Cons

Get ready for stack ranking and quiet layoffs. If you get hired remotely, you will likely lose the remote exception if you switch teams. The company loves to mimic Amazon, including in culture.

A lot of people get stressed by how intense the performance reviews are, which then bleeds into the atmosphere and culture. I've also seen a lot of people get quite sad and feel stagnated intellectually and professionally.

The culture seems to have gotten a lot more aggressive and stressful since I first joined. If you apply to a different role internally, your manager is notified.
