Pros: Good work life balance depending on the team

Cons: Engineering leadership is a bit eh and seems to just phone it in.

Pros: - Profitable, stable, public company - Equity that is worth cash and not monopoly money - Lots of unsolved problems and room for impact, unlike FAANG, where not all problems have been solved!

Cons: - Leadership from directors up to the C-Suite. At the lower levels are newer leaders who are more focused on building armies than solving problems. At the higher levels, just dispassionate and tired. - Technical debt. This is a 10+ year old codebase that has gone through multiple major framework changes, monolith to microservices, etc. It is showing its age and is hard to move fast with. - Politics. The company can feel very siloed and lacking collaboration across teams and orgs than most of this size.

Pros: Great work life balance and decent comp and benefits.

Cons: Lots of legacy tech and lots of incompetent staff engineers who only hold that title because of their tenure. The infrastructure org is pretty amateur.
