Vantaggi

Many different product offerings, so there is always something interesting being developed. Don't like what you're doing? Internally transfer to another team that peaks your interest. Great internal tooling and services. Its very simple to build something new and focus on the parts you care about, rather all of the boilerplate stuff. There is a bit of tedium here and there, but generally the documentation is great. Many teams are highly distributed. Nearly everything that you do in those teams has massive customer impact and hence visibility. It feels rewarding seeing your work pay off immediately in metrics/customer experience. This also opens up many doors for promotions. Extremely talented and smart people work here. You'll learn a lot from them and they'll help advance your career.

Svantaggi

The s-team is completely out of touch. They make short sighted decisions for temporary gain. People are frustrated with them, and their lack of transparency, sympathy, and communication. Managers are unable to do anything, all decisions made by the s-team are final. Its difficult to stay motivated in such an environment. The talent is already bleeding, and it will only get worse. WLB is highly dependent on your team. That being said, oncall tends to be awful and drives down WLB.

- 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

- 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
