Pros

-Good benefits -Good work/life balance -Great industry -Many good, talented, caring coworkers -Open to innovation, great place to try new things -Good autonomy with work -Open communication from leadership

Cons

-Severely disorganized, it's mind-blowing how basic business processes aren't established org wide. Strategy is often nonexistent or unclear or just plain bad from the top down. -Bad hiring & promotion practices. It's highly political and toxic. My team had 3 different managers within a span of a couple yrs. Big yikes. -I witnessed multiple instances of workplace bullying from people managers. -Lack of diversity starting from leadership. It looks and feels like a white male fraternity.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
