      Pros

      Great company, great product, work with smart people, and strong leadership.

      Cons

      No real negatives aside from having to travel. But that's the nature of consulting/professional services.

      Supportive teams and scarred by Engineering SBU Leadership Failure

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, including unlimited PTO, lots of HQ special events, parties, occasions, etc. Teams build good camaraderie, and are very supportive with one another.

      Cons

      Engineering SBU leaders, specifically for Platform, are micro-managers who push their opinions directly on teams by joining daily ceremonies, and force teams to build things exactly how they want, at the coding-level, with no room to argue or for engineers to justify their designs. This causes delays which leaders blame on the engineers. These leaders do not care about process, quality, or documentation. They only want work to be done as fast as possible, without the need for alignment amongst the SBU. They will disrupt whatever work is being done solely because they can. They do not care about their developers. They only care about themselves. Within the past year they have destroyed the culture of Platform, and no matter how much feedback is given, they will let people continue to leave with no backfills. Simply ordering engineers to work faster. Use AI more to get it done no matter the quality cost. Countless experienced engineering have left due to their selfishness and incompetence.
