Great tooling, weird culture, awesome benefits and salary
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
October 9, 2020
Pros: Top-of-industry compensation and benefits.
Tons of incredibly smart people across a wide range of areas. Combine this with a culture that encourages cross-pollination and collaboration between teams, and you get a great opportunity for learning.
Tooling is one of the best I've seen/heard of in the industry if you're in the right org. But if you go to Oculus, for example, the tooling is far behind.
Cons: There are a lot of entitled people and SJWs.
Public opinion is really bad.
Work/life balance can get pretty bad in certain teams.
Engineering still feels a bit hacky in certain places.
