Pros

Great offices. Good and supporting environment. Good benefits. Great and cutting edge technologies in some areas. Better transparency than in other companies, thought its becoming worse quickly.

Cons

Teams face constant change of priorities, leaving projects half done or forcing fast architectural decisions. It has also gotten very political, with less real freedom of speech to state your engineering views or you will be deemed as counterproductive and noisy. Decisions are very centralized and they happen before you have a real option to steer them as an engineer. Worst off-boarding Ive ever had with zero interest from my manager to fix the situation and coming as a surprise for me and the rest of the team. Unsurprisingly HR works in the company best interests. They are not here to help you.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
