Pros

-great pay for a non-FAANG -access to all the latest tools -nice campus -genuinely smart coworkers that you can learn a lot from

Cons

-their model is to hire as many college grads as they can then burn through them in search of the handful of surviving 10x devs who will inherit entire products to maintain -if you're not a college hire you're a second class citizen -every 6 months you have to fight for your life as they lay off ~10% of the workforce -they're going all-in on AI, I have 4 different agents installed on my laptop right now and get in trouble if I don't use them for everything I do even when it doesn't make sense to -there's a huge focus on improving velocity above all else right now so nothing gets properly tested before it's jammed into prod -as a result of all of the above there are frequent 2am pager duty calls when the spaghetti we call software breaks and no one knows how to fix it because all the SMEs were either fired or quit
