Pros: Pay is okay. Benefits are decent.

Cons: Leadership takes credit for everything positive while not taking accountability for any failure, even partial. Culture is becoming very political, where recognition just goes to those who can boot lick the best. Work often requires just as much red-tape handling, if not more, than the actual time it would just take to do the work.

Pros: I get a ton of autonomy and get to solve interesting problems.

Cons: It's getting more and more corporate, so the amount of roadblocks and pointless meetings goes up every year.

Pros: Smart, hardworking colleagues who make time to answer questions have helped me grow immensely as a software engineer. An atmosphere of progress instead of blame – the question when things go wrong is "How do we fix it?" rather than "Who did this?". Plenty of interesting projects and room for growth, though I caution anyone unfamiliar with enterprise software: projects take a lot more time when you can't release a hacky version, as customer trust is valued incredibly highly here. Great teams across all functions of the company make me proud to work here. Sales does not lie to customers, Marketing shows honest numbers, and Ops has not faltered one bit in the face of meteoric growth.

Cons: You have to work hard. Work-life balance is hard during crunch times. They don't happen often, but I do wind up sacrificing some of my personal life to get the job done. It's software; nothing new here. We don't change teams/projects as often as before.
