Pros
  • Working with smart people.
  • Powerful tools, easy to ship changes.
  • Workplace (the communication tool) is awesome for finding answers to questions, publishing information, and staying in the loop on various subjects.
Cons
  • Didn't have a good manager for the first year.
  • Overly aggressive timeline for building out new product.
  • Team lost engineers faster than we were able to find replacements (engineers changing teams because of manager/timeline, and no one wanting to join for the same reason).
  • There can be a mismatch between the type of work that is highest priority for a team/product/users and what's expected from you for the sake of an attractive performance review. Especially an issue if a team is mostly senior engineers that are all trying to own big projects and mentor others.
