Pros

- Competitive salary and benefits compared to industry benchmarks - Generally low-stress environment; not a culture of crunch - Smart, supportive, and collaborative teammates at the engineer level - Work-life balance is respected

Cons

- Frequent strategy shifts and re-orgs have created ongoing uncertainty since late 2021, with layoffs occurring regularly - Work can feel uninspiring at times - not always focused on building polished, user-facing experiences, but rather integration or supporting projects - Lack of long-term vision and inconsistent alignment across product, design, and engineering - Some teams get to work on exciting features while others are left with less impactful projects
