Pros

great work-life balance. some smart people but they don't stay long. laid-back culture, no pressure. people are generally friendly. ok perks and compensations.

Cons

very bureaucratic, politics are everywhere. Multiple levels of leadership are very disconnected, teams are not collaborating well and sometimes are not honest. high performers don't get rewarded so they leave. boring products that don't even make sense, people just want to take credits, rush the crappy work and forget about maintaining it.

Pros

Great pay and opportunity for advancement if you can get on the right projects that will succeed. For the most part I have the tech I need to do my job and my coworkers are really smart capable people who I learn from every day. I feel challenged in my work and that makes me feel engaged and interested in the problems I solve daily. Flexible vacation time and great benefits.

Cons

It can be incredibly chaotic at times, bordering on toxic. People are on edge and passing blame around like a hot potato. Hierarchy, power plays, and territorial politics create land mines for the unsuspecting on any given project— depending on your team or organization you’ll need to tread lightly to survive. They only hire in Austin right now, so any open roles seem to take a long time to fill, but the work still piles on.
