Pros

Enjoyed working with everyone I met and collaborated with.

Benefits are great and allow for a lot of flexibility/customization.

Work-life balance can be good if you put effort into keeping it.

Cons

Moral, budget, and yearly comp bonuses have been heavily cut.

Work can be very slow if not on a product team.

While work-life balance can be good, it seemed as though the culture/standard for many higher-level engineers was to work late nights to complete objectives, even those without deadlines.
