Pros

- Modern tech stack. - Product is used by top tier companies. - Challenging scale, especially after the Cisco acquisition.

Cons

- The engineering organization lacks transparency and there is a complete disconnect between management and individual contributors. - Deadlines are either tight or straight unachievable, leading to poorly implemented and rushed features, and burnout across the board. - Small teams and too many things to do. Constant context switching between tasks that show up unexpected. This used to be a great company to work for, the earlier reviews in here are accurate. However, the environment in the engineering and operations department started deteriorating a couple of years ago and very little is left of what it used to be.

Pros

Great workplace, great people, great location, interesting projects.

Cons

No one told me what specific tools to use and how to get access to them for the project. Very slow and complex access control. Project management is chaotic and they don't have a clear idea of what they want to do. Leadership is basically a ghost. Followed up for full-time roles and have been ghosted for no reason.
