Solid but with growing pains
Good autonomy. Culture can be good but is very team dependent. Has some really smart and dedicated people. Pay is quite good but expectations for engineers are really high.
Frequent reorgs.
Generally most people are pretty competent but somehow we let people slip through who are insanely bad at their job. Some VPs can be extremely toxic but engineers are mostly insulated from them.
