Pros

As long as things are running well, this is a great company to work for. It appears they care for their employees. But the culture might not be consistent in all the teams. Some teams work closely and collaborate whereas some make you feel more isolated. The expectation in some teams is that you solve problems independently.

Cons

Someone might be extremely skilled, knowledgeable and might be your mentor, as a result their inexperience doesn't help in effective knowledge transfer Similarly with managers, they could be former techies and might have inexperience managing team members, providing effective feedback While diversity and inclusion makes great numbers on company slides, I am not too sure if all the teams feel it.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
