Pros
  • Competitive pay and benefits.
  • Flexible hours and WFH options, good work/life balance. Nice place to work if you have a family to support.
  • Company culture is positive, with a big emphasis on growth mindset.
  • Many opportunities for growth if you decide to take them.
  • Employees are treated like human beings.
  • Nice working for a company that stays out of the news.
  • Very strong emphasis on D&I (can almost be too forced at times).
Cons
  • Large company means many levels, which can sometimes feel like you're a bit disconnected from leadership. However, leadership does put visible effort into listening to employees.
  • Scope of work can be quite small due to larger product teams.
  • The full software stack is owned by so many different teams that it can be hard to get things done.
