Pros

- good wlb - so far i've had the freedom to design solutions with whatever tools are best for the problem. I've already got some decent system design experience from working here - my team is diverse ethnicity and gender wise - annual performance bonus is pretty high - catered lunch and friendly in-office environment. engineering managers have not been strict about going into the office though

Cons

- company is not that innovative - for a while the engineering leadership didn't seem to have much of a plan. although lots of new leadership has been brought in and I think things will improve as they get up to speed
