Pros

RSUs, smart peers and so-so snacks. The industry has a great future. CEO is sharp and delivers for sure. Hiring bonuses, and the company will throw the usual Silicon Valley perks in for income- no cost controls are great for new folks

Cons

Entitled and incompetent middle-management from the 'good ole days.' The view is- "if I don't know, I can at least please people and pretend to be a BFF." The worst mistake I witnessed over time- strong nepotism, promotions without merit is REAL middle-managers operate n the kind of fear that doesn't drive better work- they don't understand the CEO's 'positive fear' keeps us vigilant idea.

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
