Pros

Pays well. Still some cool tech around.

Cons

Some of the worst management in the game. Leadership has become completely obsessed with AI instead of building real products. The project code quality has rotted away completely. Increasingly, nobody knows how anything works. Questions you ask anyone will often prompt a response generated by Claude, because there's less and less domain knowledge on the teams themselves. Management is using number of PRs as the primary engineering performance metric, so the engineering team is churning out absolutely anything they can get merged to boost their personal performance metrics. The engineering team feels driven entirely by the fear of being in the bottom ranks of management's AI generated dashboards. You can't take vacation without it hurting your output performance metrics, either, in my experience. Notable engineering leadership has left, leaving an uninspired talent base generating as much code as possible to save their jobs. This environment is simply no longer capable of inspiring the creativity and problem solving it once had.

Cons

Product market fit for Enterprise Bureaucratic mess Departments and personnel can be very self serving
