Pros
  • High-paying salary with a seemingly unending upward trend in stock prices.
  • Smart, motivated colleagues.
  • Great tooling and constant improvements.
Cons

A lot of politics around who gets to run projects to favor stronger and popular engineers. This is because most, if not all, recognition for a project will go to a single engineer who organized it. It creates an environment where engineers are forced to focus on stealing or generating unnecessary, fake short-term projects that move the metrics instead of thinking of the app in a holistic, vision-driven way.

Impossible amount of reading on work posts due to lacking structure. Average posts will include every single piece of information that's duplicative to feign detail.
