Pros

Great perks, like insurance and other remotely driven activities, and some travel.

Cons

The pay is abysmal, and now because Ads is generating the bulk of their revenue, they are sitting on the backs of those in Ads setting lofty goals, and placing on PIP and firing those who dont hit the goal, I was less than 10% shy of the goal, and was still fired.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
