Pros

Work/Life Balance: being part of a large company, its easier to schedule your work if you have a need to take time off to attend to your life!. Excellent Benefits Package: salaries are generally good, although the astronomically high cost of bay area housing means you are still stretched, when it comes to finances.

Cons

Lack of clear communication from senior management: now that the CEO and COO are changed, it can get better. There have been issues with Respect for non-professional staff, specially when it came to grant them stock options. Also, there is a tendency to have surprises up the senior management's sleeves, as to who gets to stay and who gets to leave!

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
