Pros

So much learning and growing available. Your skills will increase very quickly along with your knowledge. Career opportunities are truly endless. End of quarter/year panic and pressure on customers to buy quickly is none existent. They are customer obsessed and will never put pressure on a customer to buy anything by a certain date.

Cons

There's a lot going on and at times it can be overwhelming. Taking time for yourself, vacation, etc., is key. If you're unable to make your own schedule and self manage, this won't be a good place for you.

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
