Pros

There are a lot of lurkers in the company. If I accurately document what’s going on, even to be fair to myself AND the company, they’ll figure me out. So, paranoia runs deep. Which is not a con! Not necessarily. Not in trust and safety. You have to be a little bit rat brained. Pros… you get access to a deep network of smart and interesting people. Access. There’s a lot of swag and side perks: everyone is getting trips to New York. That’s cool. Generally, name brand is very good so people on the street like you. There is a blameless culture with respect to learning and mistakes and in a company admittedly learning on the fly, everyone makes errors. Insurance is really good! Stock awards are generous but with the vesting structure and the cratering economy and you get the idea. It’s the cool kids club. It really is. That’s the best we can do. That’s the best I can say. Room for improvement and maybe we’re trying.

Cons

It’s just a mess. And outsiders are despised. If you want a career either come with a glistening resume and a diamond plated backside, or go try Meta.
