Pros

It used to be really easy to switch roles and departments which allowed you to try out different things and learn new skills. Sadly, that process has changed and it’s not that easy anymore to do something completely different.

Cons

It really depends on the team you join but since the layoffs the vibe has changed and people are less collaborative. Switching to AWS was quite a culture shock. You have to play politics to get a promotion.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
