Vantaggi
It's hard to explain, but I found this place one of the most depressing places I've ever worked. I wanted to believe the hype but I was disappointed. It is a monoculture of engineering dorks. The people I worked with have no real sense of humor or intellectual depth. The lifers who have been with the company for nearly 20 years are the worst. The product is mature and management is very risk averse. This is not a cutting-edge stack, for obvious and understandable reasons. The company is recruiting on reputation developed over the years as a once great place to work. Free lunches, nice office, foosball tables, etc. All the typical trappings designed to keep you in the office longer. Since the pandemic, I'm not sure if any of those things are relevant any more. I left shortly before lockdowns, so I wonder how things have evolved. For software engineers, I found not much potential for growth or advancement here.
Svantaggi
Boring, old stack, monoculture, lack of growth
