Pros

Team is cordial and nice to work with.

Cons

There were a lot of growing pains working remote, which have likely affected the work experience somewhat. We're able to work our way through it and learn lessons, but I think in the future I'd like a remote experience that is more streamlined.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
