Pros: * Compared to FAANG - much better work culture, friendly people. * Competitive perks and salary. * Work/life balance is really a thing here; you're expected NOT to be miserable because of your work.

Cons: Noticeable technical debt (at least on the front-end side), not catching up with recent practices from the last 3-4 years. Code quality is bothering at times, with lots of over-complicated stuff. The "Senior I" role feels like a regular dev.

Pros: - A stable paycheck - Solid health benefits - An opportunity to work alongside many talented and knowledgeable colleagues

Cons: - A significant number of middle managers lack a technical background, which can result in inadequate support for engineering challenges, micromanagement, and difficulties when escalating issues. - Individual contributor growth and mentoring are limited; the competitive internal environment often emphasizes outperforming peers over collaborative development and onboarding. - Despite public commitments to diversity, many teams remain homogenous, and there is a perception that certain management practices foster an exclusive culture. - High turnover among experienced engineers, combined with a strong external recruiting pipeline, can lead to a focus on quick backfills rather than long-term career development. - New productivity tracking methods have been introduced frequently, and while feedback from engineers is acknowledged, changes are often met with mixed results. - Benefits have been scaled back in some areas (e.g., unlimited PTO is no longer available). - The departure of experienced engineers sometimes leaves teams responsible for maintaining legacy systems that are poorly documented and maintained, which can impact productivity. - A pronounced focus on rapid growth sometimes appears to come at the expense of building a supportive and sustainable company culture.

Pros: Nice development infrastructure, very smart people. Good package with shares.

Cons: If you are an engineer, you completely depend on your team lead. Respect and obey. (It is not a con, indeed).
