Autonomy and impact
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
January 28, 2021
Pros: You have a real chance to impact millions of users.
Startup-like culture, push code to production several times a day.
Build your own tools, use your tech stack.
No micromanagement, lightweight processes, low number of meetings.
Run your services in production - be a product manager, engineer, tester, and SRE - which avoids too much cross-team communication/overhead.
People have an enormous amount of bias for action.
Cons: - Product priorities change frequently, which can be good or bad.
- Sometimes there are too many projects going on.
- Some (a few) product areas lack a vision, therefore they are behind in features.

Pros: Good transparency about what's happening on a bigger scale. Management cares about employee's concerns. Managers listen to the team to make a plan that works.
Cons: Stock not doing well, largely due to the overall economy. Grew fast in areas that are not directly related to business.
