Pros

Great inner team Smart people

Cons
  • Toxic external environment; old employees can be very toxic, can ghost, offer no answer for a long time, and randomly block PRs and go "oof".
  • Salary increases after promos are nearly nothing (4-5%). Getting a promotion is difficult, and you get a lot more responsibilities and work.
