Pros

Lots of tech exposure and highly accomplished people

Cons

The people churn is catching up with them. No long term execution plans, most leaders are new and The policy of not allowing people to apply for roles higher than their current level is ridiculous and contributes to the churn. When combined with the difficulty of getting promoted when your manager may leave or you get reorged every six months, working here should be looked at carefully.

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)
