Great company, great culture, great people
Software Engineer - New Grad • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
April 29, 2021
Pros: - Benefits and perks are plentiful.
- You can pick any team or project you want to work on.
- People on my team are super nice and smart; I don't know about other teams.
- Your accomplishments on any task will impact millions of users.
- Tasks are challenging and interesting enough to engage you in your work.
- You can contribute input to the projects your team is working on.
Cons: These are not really cons, but rather responsibilities:
* You are responsible for what you do. If it causes errors, you have to fix them.
* The codebase is huge without much documentation. The code is literal in itself, so you must ramp up by reading the code instead of documentation.
* Sometimes overtime is necessary. You can still manage to maintain work/life balance if you are experienced enough. Most people won't have a problem with this.

Pros: Perks are great, but working from home is totally different than being in-office, obviously. It's difficult to say exactly how much it's worth it.
Cons: Job satisfaction isn't all that great.
