Pros

Pay, benefits, and some good individual contributors.

Cons

The entire CS leadership team from VP to managers. Leadership claims to champion a “high-performance” culture. In practice, it’s closer to a shark tank: the loudest voices rise, and backstabbing is rewarded. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the enterprise side, where promotions visibly change people. CS is heading in the wrong direction, and everyone dreads the annual February hunger games. Get out while you still can.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
