Pros

Engineer-centric (great as an engineer!) and still very focused on community building. Lots of teams and technologies to learn. Fun perks and amusements, like the arcade in the main office. Broad reach with a rabid fanbase that you feel you can directly impact and help. Though leadership might not get everything 100% right, it at least always seems they're consistently trying to improve (and at least it doesn't feel like lip service to me).

Cons

Highly siloed, and interaction or collaboration between teams can be hard. You either love your team or hate it, and if the latter, you just have to hope you can try another. Things seem very team-dependent, so it's hard to know if I'm just lucky with my immediate org or what.

Advice to Management

Be better about communicating short-term goals. More top-down opportunities for teams to intermingle and collaborate would benefit general company culture.
