Pros

Benefits are amazing. You get enough Uber credits for 15 trips in your work city (about $300 for me) that you can also use for Uber Eats, a fitness credit, a phone credit, and free breakfast and lunch during the work week. Depending on the team, it's also quite relaxed. So long as I'm getting my work done, my manager is perfectly happy. Also, unlimited time off is actually really good if your manager is chill. I also work in infra, and the career opportunity is amazing. The engineers I work with quite simply are brilliant.

Cons

There were a bunch of layoffs when I was starting out and lots of worry about the current company stock price. The company isn't completely structurally sound, so starting at this job, you're taking a certain amount of risk. Job security is non-existent here; there's little caring about the employees' future. Also, they don't match 401k, which in this day and age is crazy.

Advice to Management

Match 401k, and try not to do mass firings.
