Pros

- Great pay - Great teams if you're lucky - Benefits were awesome, unlimited PTO as long as you're not CS, wellness benefits, everything that comes with a modern company not stuck in the 80's like most traditional companies.

Cons

- Occasional lack of direction, hard to adapt. - The recently made the shift to AI without addressing the environmental impact. Ironic considering they have a whole department on sustainability. Recently Blackrock acquired a large share making Vanguard and Blackrock their biggest shareholders. Both companies are complicit in genocide in Palestine. They also have an office in Tel Aviv.

Pros

Benefits were there earlier but not now.

Cons

No job security — frequent reorganizations and sudden team changes create a sense of instability. Hiring and internal movement can feel subjective — sometimes driven by personal preferences rather than merit or qualifications. Favoritism can impact growth opportunities — certain individuals or teams get preferential treatment regardless of performance. Inconsistent management styles — employee experience varies widely depending on your direct manager. Recognition is not always based on effort or impact — visibility often matters more than results. Poor communication during transitions — layoffs, org changes, or strategic shifts are often not well communicated.
