Pros: • Engineering teams aim to keep time spent in meetings to a minimum. • The HQ at World Trade Center 3 is nice, and the subway station exits directly into the building, and it is convenient to take the elevator down to the attached shopping mall and grab a coffee. • Generous base pay.

Cons: • Not enough focus on product quality, and some teams seem unbothered by shipping frustrating experiences. • A poorly maintained development environment that yields nearly 2-minute wait times for incremental builds of the frontend. • An incomprehensible performance review system that occurs “periodically,” with no accompanying compensation adjustments, no peer feedback, and no formal process for providing feedback to one’s manager. • While discussion and debate among engineers are encouraged, senior management is sensitive to dissenting opinions. Some leaders view their positions as above discussion. • Itchy trigger finger: you’ll meet a lot of people if you join because you’ll be losing teammates to termination, resignation, and reorganization on a regular basis. By the end of my time at the company, I saw my entire team dispatched within a year. I’ve been through reorganizations before, but I’ve never seen an entire team turnover in 12 months.

Pros: Snacks; Located in SF; Free tickets; Close to the BART.

Cons: Very deceptive leadership that you should never trust. Frequent layoffs. Leadership is very good at lying, and there are clueless managers and product org.

Pros: High base salary and large scope

Cons: Poor management; RSU is a joke, and new hires got laid off close to their cliff event.
