Pros: They give a lot of swag, work pace isn’t too hard, and mid-level people are generally nice.

Cons: This company ruined my life and PIP’d me for taking time off to mourn. They took from me my passion for what I do and made me realize how quickly someone will throw you under a bus. Scheming managers. They did a soft layoff where they were forced to PIP a certain number of employees, and I had never had a performance conversation or a negative comment. The manager fabricated evidence for a PIP (including asking for advice, taking sick time when my dad died, and calling in a senior engineer during a high severity outage). I’ve personally spoken to multiple other engineers that had the exact same thing happen to them.

Pros: Challenging engineering work, dedicated and hardworking teammates, and I learned a lot solving interesting problems. There is a good work-life balance.

Cons: Woke company politics and discrimination against white males in hiring.

Pros: Good work-life balance and a good team

Cons: Nothing much as of now
