Pros: Good coworker in the company

Cons: Can't think of any, actually.

Pros: Professional culture: friendly, supportive, and striving for rationality. A good amount of long-time employees are still with the company, helping the retention of knowledge.

Cons: The management in product development has been deteriorating in the last several years. A few years ago, a full product-dev re-org was followed by a second reboot to fix the mistakes of the first. After the re-org, engineers ended up less involved in important decisions. Appreciation of successful project delivery, meaning respect, awards, or occasional promotion to project participants, also subsided. The social (party) budget of teams increased substantially, but that cannot mask the real issues.

Pros: Pros * CDP has the best tech stack. * Best team. * A junior engineer can make a difference. * Opportunity to learn architecture. * Manager (L1) was good. * The VP is highly respected by engineers. * The architect is very likable and knowledgeable. * My product manager was great, but she recently quit. * Heard this group pays well. I joined 3 years ago when this new team did not exist. When I was leaving, they were ready to give a good raise.

Cons: Cons: * Overly fast-moving. * FAANG-level interview bar, but pay not at the same level in the Bay Area. * Production support and deployment with fast-moving development can be difficult due to too many production deployments and support.
