Pros

-Smart colleagues around you who have a mentality of working hard. -High pay -Can learn and grow in the job, and other options to promote although you fully need to initiate this ourself.

Cons

-A work culture that burns people out as there are so many steps to take to get promoted and you need to be on good terms with all of your stakeholders to get up. It's very subjective. -The sales organisation is not very sophisticated. Managers don't really know how to help you in regards of your customer contact. They are more internal managers and an extension of HR it seems like.

Pros

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
