Pros: Lots of autonomy and good benefits. Often interesting work. Emphasis on modernizing the developer experience, even if a bit late.
Cons: Distributed teams cause a lack of in-person culture.
The Agile lead role (half manager, half individual contributor) causes a lack of leadership and mentorship for engineers due to mixed responsibilities and expectations.

Pros: Great people - smart and nice to work with.
The problems are interesting, and people are generally receptive to change.
Depending on which area you work in, the scale can be enormous.
While the tech is well-established and successful, there is lots of opportunity to make an impact - there is plenty of room for improvement.
Cons: The product org isn't well established yet and is mostly centralized in NYC. Priorities can sometimes change rapidly, and product and design people are stretched too thin.
