Pros: Competitive compensation, ambitious projects, good office atmosphere.

Cons: The criteria for progressing from one level to another are constantly changing, making career progression unclear and unfair.

Pros: Super dynamic environment. You learn a lot; they have many new projects all the time. Good salary, possibility of traveling. Some good perks.

Cons: Working in a satellite office isn't good, you can be left very much to your own devices. Perhaps it depends on the individual background and the team and project you fall into, but I find that they can have a somewhat toxic work culture. My boss was suggesting I work shifts as if I were in another country. The tooling is a mess. For Big Tech, they have some very poor processes and tools, which is surprising given how polished the product they sell is. The oncall is paid very poorly and is usually not quiet. Very bad policy for working in another country (at most 5 days in a row).

Pros: Work-life balance; Office is amazing; There are still some very smart engineers depending on your team and department.

Cons: It has turned into a PiP factory. Leadership is more concerned with shipping features than making sure they are actually functional and good. AI has invaded Datadog badly, and everything you do anywhere at the company will be AI related. There are mandates that all teams spend at least half of their time working on AI efforts, with no exception. AVOID infrastructure monitoring, logs, and security departments.
