Pros

Progressive mindset, big on family and work/life balance. The benefits are amazing. Hot yoga during my lunch break? Yes please!

Cons

The very laid back attitude means you must be a self-starter, and some people don't ever seam to be 'checked' on this. There are some people in roles who are not qualified to be there.

Pros

Amazing campus, good pay, exclusive access to elite athletes

Cons

Distributed ownership means teams have very little influence and end up with departmental objectives that are mostly ineffectual fluff, yet annual review cycles increasingly tied to "impact" which the corporate inertia and politics make it nearly impossible to achieve. No real career advancement opportunities. Promotion process sets an impossibly high bar and the handful of promotions that do take place include clear cases of favoritism. Last but not least, the new CEO has sent a clear signal that he doesn't view the technology organization as integral to the future of the company. Big tech layoffs followed by surges in tech hiring in India. If you're in tech, look elsewhere.
