Pros

The people are incredible, and the main reason to be in the office. With a handful of exceptions, everyone is smart, caring, and wants the company to succeed. It is a very open culture with blameless incident review process within Engingeering.

Cons

It can be a hard place to navigate and move up if you don't have a good manager (I don't). HR is fairly useless if you want to switch teams and are being roadblocked by your manager. Recruiting is also extremely understaffed and not very effective at getting talent through the pipeline. Compensation across the org is a bit low.
