Pros

Getting to work on meaningful tech. There are a number of really smart people at the company.

Cons

The blame game is strong at this company. When something bad happens the first reaction is to find someone to blame and not try and figure out why something happened. It doesn't seem to matter that this goes against the "Assume Positive Intent" part of the company's value of "Expect Candor" (look it up on their website) Post mortem action items are most commonly adding another person to a decision process to hang blame on instead of trying to automate away the problem. This leads to a significant amount of resources being devoted to CYA activities not to mention stifling innovation and killing moral. No one dares speak up, point out problems, offer to help, or in general not act in their own best interest without it coming back on them. There's also an unconstrained high level engineer who has a tendency to swoop in last minute on projects and completely upend them or half build a project and run leaving others to pick up the pieces (and blame).
