Pros

Great compensation & benefits Very big on inclusion Super rich company that doesn't nickel & dime you Lots of groups and they encourage movement (every 2 years I hear) Company invests 5 weeks in you to do bootcamp/onboarding Nice equipment Competent HR and IT depts

Cons
  • Pace is fast; deliver more, faster, everyone.
  • Technologies used are all/mostly homegrown, highly customized.
  • Makes it a bit stressful if you are a noob (hopefully this will pass).
  • Due to scale and pace of dev, documentation is lacking and stale.
  • Even people on your team may not know the answer you seek; need to look elsewhere.
  • People are nice in general, though some are more helpful than others.
  • People are not very social.
  • You always feel like the dumbest person in the room (hopefully this will pass).
