Pros

Career growth and opportunity if you can spot it and grab it.

Pay bands were increased in 2021. It isn't FAANG pay, but it is better than it was before.

Cons

It is really chaotic. Leadership is chaotic and not transparent. The return to office was poorly handled, with them updating us the day before each deadline with a new deadline.

Work-life balance is very hit or miss and totally depends on the team you're on (hence why some reviews say it's great and some say the opposite).

Storefront tends to be great, while supply chain and ops engineering are pretty toxic in general.

The infrastructure is a real pain, with a lot of red tape even for teams that are completely decoupled in their own microservice environment.
