Pros

Very strong peers to learn from. Strong focus on deployment visibility/granularity. Dog food operational and service platforms/tooling for team work.

Cons

Difficult to compete with peers while maintaining personal life balance. Formal mentorship is unlikely, with everyone being busy. Be ready to lean into agentic IDE/CLI and solve your own problems.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
