TL;DR: Recent engineering grads will amass more technical knowledge in their first 2 years working here than they likely will at most other engineering companies.

As a recent engineering graduate, you will learn a lot (and fast) due to the fact that most engineering teams tend to be small, comprised of generalists, but deliver a ton of work. This translates to recent grads working across the stack on whatever team they are on and becoming reasonably competent devops/data/backend/front-end engineers.

The analyst program is great, especially for new-joiners relocating from outside New York, as it gives them an immediate sense of community.

The pro above could also become a con, as recent engineering grads on teams that aren't very mindful could suffer from burnout.

While you'll grow a broad set of skills that allows you to perform varying engineering roles in your first two years, you'll ultimately find yourself falling behind on newer industry trends (think cloud-computing, SRE, security).

A lot of politics prevents engineers from understanding organizational direction and priorities.
