Strong compensation but slow decisions and job insecurity
Strong compensation but slow decisions and job insecurity
Strong compensation and benefits, with generous equity, healthcare, and perks. You work with very talented, smart colleagues and learn a lot from them. The engineering infrastructure and internal tools are world-class.
Projects have huge scale and real impact. Work-life balance is good on most teams, and there's flexibility in how and where you work.
It’s a large organization, so decisions can be slow and process-heavy. Promotions are competitive and can feel tied to visibility more than impact. Reorgs and shifting priorities sometimes mean projects get cancelled. Recent layoffs have hurt morale and job security. Your experience varies a lot depending on your team and manager.
