Pros: Great perks and salary. Depending on the team, you get to work with smart co-workers and challenging technical work.

Cons: No more than lip service for diversity initiatives. There is no viable career path for individual contributors. Women engineers who are not in management languish in the same level for years, and their contributions are not recognized or valued. If you are a female engineer, there are much better companies out there that will value you. Projects and teams randomly move around various engineering offices because they hire too many engineers without actually having a plan for what they would work on. Some engineering managers put on an act of being humble while doing nothing to help advance the careers of those who report to them.

Pros: Their central motto is "We help people get jobs." Every big meeting opens with that. It's very heart-warming and motivational. Almost everyone who wants can work remotely. If you do go into the office, there are free meals and snacks. In theory, there's unlimited PTO.

Cons: They did a huge layoff in March 2023. Then another in May 2024. Over that year, the company has become a miserable place to work. They've switched to a very top-down bureaucracy where clueless directors dictate product direction with no justification. Then they scramble the org structure so all the priorities change every few months. And they decide how ratings will be decided at the end of the quarter (or maybe every 6 months...that also keeps changing).

Pros: Good pay. Good perks: food.

Cons: Okay, management. Not so much inclusivity.
