Pros

None! Oh, wait, if you are in Seattle you can get bananas that are worth 10 cents a piece ¬¬.

Cons

There's so much here... Low pay, inhumane workload, lack of career development, lack of diversity, basic health benefits, 401k does NOT vest unless you stay for 3 years, burnout culture, backloaded stock grant, no stock refreshers, 0,5% to 3% raises are considered "top performer". Complete slaughter house. And if that was not enough, be ready to work on the crappiest codebase you've ever seen!

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

Excellent pay/benefits, Safety first mindset, flexible scheduling, fantastic training program, phenomenal team support, convenient locations. Plenty of pathways for career advancement and full support for self promotion. Culture is fantastic. You really can be yourself and make many new friends fast. Teamwork is outstanding. Everyone is always willing to help.

Cons

Growing so fast that it's hard to keep the same manager. I've had four managers in two months. Constantly have to adapt to new procedures and changes and working locations. Always in a state of flux. Standards keep changing all the time
