Pros

Work life balance and comp is a big plus.

Cons

Changing company priorities and lack of accountability for delivering milestones. Some engineers are around for years and coasting and should be performance managed out but senior leaders are afraid to make contentious decisions.

Pros

Really smart and generally nice/enjoyable colleagues Benefits were pretty good Able to travel some

Cons

The super high-growth environment when I started was exciting and energizing at first. My first year or so, I couldn't imagine ever working anywhere else, but the it all went south. Massive and quick hiring, endless budget, and uncontrolled product offering/strategy spread led to lots of chaos, exec favoritism/cliques, org silos, product non-interoperability, territory grabs and inexperienced and unsupported management promotions causing a lot of unnecessary conflict and drama. There is a lot of change still settling there. It could turn out well now that there seems to be a bit more intentional corporate structure, but if you are interested in working there, really interview your hiring manager critically. I still believe strongly in the core product offering and wish them success, but it came with A LOT of extra headaches that were not worth it for me. I love solving hard product problems, but when you don't have the support of the organization and your own management to actually achieve that, it was time for me to go.
