Pros

- nice, relaxed people - slightly above average compensation - 35 hours a week other than oncall - very high WFH flexibility - fun products to work on sometimes - a few really talented engineers that stay for the product

Cons

- low pay for high performers - work is not super challenging - some managers don’t seem to put in effort toward the growth of those under them - ONCALL: the oncall is pretty unreasonable here; there is not enough focus on reducing unnecessary pages in basically all teams. Oncall should really be paid given this.

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
