Pros

Good pay and benefits. Friendly people and culture. Actually value employee wellness as evidenced by company-wide "wellness" holidays every few weeks during Covid since nobody was taking time off

Cons

Super-woke leadership, which permeates all levels of the company. Either a plus or minus depending on your political views. Work-life balance varies by manager and timing. About average compared to other tech companies I've worked for. Stock volatility/crash cost me a LOT of money while there. Layoffs are constant, and mostly suppressed. 2023 where they laid off 7% of their workforce (2000 employees) was too big for them to hide. But it was just one of many, which get to be their worst in the February-March timeframe.

Pros

Big scale. Good work-life balance. Smart coworkers.

Cons

Lack of product vision. Disparate tech stack split between internal tooling and more modern cloud providers makes the deployment story confusing.
