Pros

Relatively great work life balance if you know how to manage through it. Great team members willing to help out

Cons

Lack of structure, overly focused on Docs and politics. "Builders" are overly encouraged to make updates in their areas, but don't necessarily look across products to share best practices or establish guidelines across the company causing mismatches. Minimal visibility to what you are working on for leadership. Directors not familiar with the details which causes issues.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
