Pros

* Great comp * Aggressively tackles issues around things like developer productivity - better tooling constantly being invested in * Generally very good ICs to work with

Cons

* WLB is a mess. They'll strongly hint that you put in a lot of overtime and then when it comes to your performance review, they will knock you down because 'what you did isn't sustainable'. And then, within a week, they'll be recommending you work overtime. * Company has a lot of very senior ICs who all like to weigh in on designs. Getting approval do do meaningful work can be a serious challenge.

Pros

The latest and greatest tech resources for engineers Lots of potential for growth

Cons

Pay is good, benefits are lacking. Like no 401k match, medical insurance is not included (they take out of your paycheck) Very cutthroat and high expectations from engineers
