Vantaggi

Good compensation, average perks; Good for resume; Amazing interview process

Svantaggi

One of the tasks in their training process is to leave a review in Glassdoor, when you don't even have 90 days in the company, that should speak for itself, but let's go: - there are talks about work-life balance, but it's culturally accepted that you will work more than 40h a week, employees and managers talk about it as it's "normal and so cool"; - the company is divided in upper management (S-team) and the rest, and those two can't communicate, no feedback goes up there, decisions are taken without input and can't be questioned (search for "beth galetti petition rejection" for a good example), even managers 4 levels and above are left in the dark sometimes; - cultural values (leadership principles) are heavily pushed, but are not put in practice by managers. You will only receive good feedback about it if you practice them the way they see fit at the moment, not by the book; - communications are unclear and sometimes unnecessary, why communicate a massive layoff and not be crystal clear on who is going to be affected, my entire team's moral took a hit even it being obvious we weren't going to be affected

Vantaggi

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Svantaggi

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
