Process
They contacted me for a phone screen, which I thought went pretty well. They said they would reach out to me by the end of the week. It's now been three weeks with no word from them. They've also ignored my follow-up emails.
If they're going to do this, why reach out in the first place?

Pros: Working on some really cool stuff, or trying it out before anyone else.
Great benefits for parents (6 mos leave for births or adoptions!).
Get to listen to music all day.
Management takes employee concerns seriously and takes action to fix them (or empowers us).
Cons: It's a big company, so it's hard to remember what everyone does, and hard to feel important.
3.0
Autonomy is great, but communication barriers

Pros: Great people, great product, with a lot of new ideas in the pipeline.
Everyone is open to ideas and suggestions. You can contribute as much as you are able to, and you are only encouraged to take on responsibility. Teams are extremely autonomous.
Benefits are second to none. Lunch and snacks are great! Free beer.
Cons: Lots of teams with their own plans, coordinating timelines, releases, and features is/can be a challenge.
You don't always know what other teams are working on and how far along their projects might be. There is no secrecy; you can talk to them, it's just not as transparent as it could be.
