- Lateral career movements welcomed/encouraged if you want to try something new, e.g., engineer to manager.
- Moving teams is a very easy process.
The codebase was messier, especially the part I worked in.
There was a poor work/life balance; I knew employees who consistently worked 9-7 or longer.
It was a tech bubble, especially if you're in the Bay Area. Everyone around you is an engineer, especially since there are very few opportunities to go out as food and other amenities are provided in-house.
