Fantastic experience. Depends on the team
Fantastic experience. Depends on the team
- surrounded by a lot of REALLY smart people.
- culture is great. I've heard this depends entirely on the team though.
- big focus on diversity.
- work-life balance is entirely what you make it.
- Culture on other teams can not be so great.
- Working with these people is oftentimes very difficult.
- It's hard to make a big impact on product unless you have an impressive title (and a lot of people won't even give you the light of day unless you have that title).
- That focus on diversity can sometimes result in diversity hires that aren't supported as much as they should be.
