Good pay, good benefits, and food in the office.

Really depends on your team/management, especially work-life balance. In general:

• Expectations are very high.
• It's hard to get promotions.
• Nobody likes upper management.
• Volatile stock.
• RTO requirements continue to constrict.
• There seems to be no communication between teams.
• Priorities are constantly switching.
• Upper management will drop anything at the whim of the CEO.

People are frequently working after-hours or on weekends even when they're not on-call, especially for app-facing teams (internal teams less so).

CEO likes to walk around the office early morning or late afternoon wondering why nobody is in. Once said, "this isn't a 9-5." Subsequently, breakfast and dinner hours were pushed outward to encourage employees to come in earlier and stay later.

Frequent reorganization means shuffling between managers regularly.

LA-specific: The in-office commute zone is 50 miles, which for LA means many people were driving 2+ hours one-way or staying well after work hours/dinner to avoid rush hour.

Diversity is okay when just walking around campus and seeing who is there, but recently (2024) the company went through a settlement regarding discrimination and harassment against women.

Not many managers, senior managers, or above are women. Not many senior engineers are women.

Diversity programs (engineering) are getting funding cuts/decreasing in size since 2022.
