Pros

The people I work with directly are awesome and the work we do is challenging and exciting.

Cons

- The leadership principles are dead - Riffing - Feeling the "surge" at the office - No base pay increases or RSU grants for L6+ employees after having a monumentally successful past few quarters.

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

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.
