Pros

Remote Good benefits Reasonable pay Great people to work with

Cons

Brutal performance cycles has destroyed the TEAM work culture and broken trust among peers. It's become very individualist and performative. God forbid you make a mistake because that scrutiny will be recorded and taken into account for performance-based lay-offs.

Pros

* Compensation(Base pay and RSU) * Fully covered health insurance * 401k Match * Lots of great people at the Individual Contributor level

Cons

Just a warning that the advertised culture and values are not lived and its essential that the theater of using the language and justifying actions revolves around the values so you can assimilate. * There is a substantial amount of toxic positivity. * The road to the ambiguous goal of being a "World Class Engineering Organization" has lead to miss alignment in company culture and the weaponization of the performance management process. * Performance management process as many have mentioned is toxic. Pro-tip: Write blogs throughout the year. Most do this to help manufacture evidence. * There are constant re-orgs. Mainly because the senior leaders aren't accountable for making poor strategic decision. I went through 5 re-orgs in 3 years. * Professional development is something the company does not fund or support. * The company in general is on a big push to control G&A which means that you will continue to see layoffs, reduction or erosion of benefits, and performance management manipulated to control the bonus multipliers.

Pros

Decent pay Some really good coworkers

Cons

Brutal performance reviews, where you feel the need to work overtime, compete with team members, and only complete work that will reflect well on your performance review Lots of pressure from upper management to complete company wide initiatives with not enough time or resources. This leads to scrappy, unmaintainable code and no time to focus on improving or maintaining services. All my coworkers I've talked to are trying to leave.
