Pros
  • Everyone is smart, but most are also extremely friendly and willing to help/give advice.
  • Choose work that interests you, and managers do everything to make sure you are happy.
  • Flexible work hours (choose your own start and end time, doesn't matter how long you're in the office, really) within reason.
  • Great benefits, etc.
Cons
  • Steep learning curve.
  • Very hard to find good documentation when trying to learn about various aspects of infra.
  • A lot of custom systems and tools everywhere can be overwhelming to new hires.
  • Sometimes people move too fast and create projects without enough consideration for effort versus impact.
  • Compensation is probably not as good as other similarly sized companies for new grads (unless you are an extremely desired engineer with many competing offers).
Advice to Management

Compensation for new grads in certain data roles and departments is lower compared to similar roles in other departments within the organization. You should ensure compensation is more even across the board.
