Pros

Generally good working conditions, compensation, and coworkers.

Lots of problems to work on for motivated people.

Opportunities to contribute to open source.

A lot of good parts of the tech stack you can work on or learn from.

I'd recommend working here over many alternatives.

Cons

Engineering's focus is split too much between products, components, cloud, on-prem, and multiple major versions. This always made it harder to execute on building a great product, but I think it got worse over time. Executives, support, and sales engineers can't keep up with everything, and it makes things harder.
