Pros

Decent pay, stock was valuable during peak pandemic.

Cons

Within the engineering teams I was a part of, there was little work to be done to set oneself apart (despite everything being on fire), and everyone was trying to get ahead career-wise. This led to a pretty cutthroat and toxic atmosphere. I would advise a new hire to try and figure out who in the organization was going to succeed politically and attach themselves to them. No one can really actually perform well, so it's about who you know.
