Pros

Most of the engineers are humble and open to criticism. Since I joined new squads have been created and a more robust organization has been built. Most of the people are nice to work with and available most of the times to help. From day one you'll learn a lot, senior engineers share the knowledge constantly with their peers. Continuous Integration/Delivery pipelines are being improved weekly by our DevOps constantly, making deployments less painful. They embraced Kubernetes architecture. When criticals have happened, CTO does not look for people to blame but solutions to mitigate the issues. Yearly reviews that are actually useful to improve.

Cons

Microservice architecture is present but the main part of the business is still a monolith with few owners. Junior engineers have almost the same access to the infrastructure as senior ones. The office has been grown a lot but the toilets are limited.

Pros

Great product discounts and nice corporate offices.

Cons

Very poorly run company. The distribution center operations is a very toxic boys club, rife with blame culture and senior leadership throwing junior leaders under the bus. Good ideas from the "wrong" people aren't listened to, and bad ideas from the "in crowd" are pushed through – and quickly fail. Building and executing effective training is always seen as a road block, and then used as a scapegoat. Hard to see how things will improve in the current state.
