Pros

- The codebase is complex so the job will keep you challenged - Mentorship available from lots of industry veterans with a Master's or PhD in their field of engineering - Fun company swag arrives every now and then - Fun year-end parties and team building events - Great benefits (they pay for Udemy courses if you are upskilling and for any certifications like AWS Solutions Architect etc.) and decent work-life-balance based on your team and manager (some teams may lack on the WLB side, while some teams have a lot of it)

Cons

- Some teams are major bottlenecks in getting things done and will slow you down by asking you to get approvals which can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months sometimes

Pros

Fast-paced, high-intensity environment where expectations are set high and that drives genuine performance. I've learned a lot here and I'm hopeful to spend more years helping shape the direction of the business. Smart people, real ownership, and the kind of work that pushes you to grow.

Cons

Operations are running lean while the goals stay ambitious. AI is reshaping how we work, but the tooling isn't quite mature enough yet to carry the load it eventually will. Until it catches up, teams can feel stretched.

Pros

I am able to be my best self in the environment I work in. I am encouraged to ask questions and come up with solutions to problems - often the identification of a problem doesn't have a clearly prescribed solution - My leadership allows me to be proactive and come up with more ideal solutions than 'just what works'.

Cons

This is a large company, and mileage may vary. Bringing your best self should be a requirement for all positions in all companies.
