Pros
  • Decent pay.
  • Smart engineers to work with.
  • You get to change the lives of millions around you.
  • Some projects are really cool to work on.
Cons
  • Poor work-life balance.
  • Requirements change very fast here.
  • PMs just keep on forcing developers to ship new and new features. If you are in a user-facing team, say "bye-bye" to your life :)
  • More and more emphasis is on shipping projects fast, but quality is ignored.
  • Lots of unnecessary experiments. Out of 20, only 2 or 3 work :)
  • Lots of unnecessary meetings. This just takes away your dev time.
  • PMs don't have people skills at all. Unnecessary poking on small things. Micro-management. They legit don't have any chill :/
  • You hardly get any chance to work on engineering stuff. Just product, product, product.
Advice to Management

Please hire better PMs. Read my cons :)

Please have a chill culture. Life is more than just shipping new features one after another. You get only one. Please try to live it.
