There is a good ole boys and girls club that you will not be invited to. The north start and the roadmap to the north star do not align. There is limited growth for IC's. They bait and switch in the hiring process across the board. Particularly, for lower paying roles. This is not at the fault of recruitment. It is the hiring managers that send false perceptions of the roles so they can acquire top talent. Leadership cares about leadership and no-one else.

Very metrics focused in evaluations, claims not to be. You'll never meet or interact with most of the people evaluating you. They rarely promote people. If they promote you, that mean's you've been doing the promoted job already for at least a year without matching pay. Location (in San Francisco) isn't very good. Teams don't always have clear purposes or missions, and they change often. Every team everywhere is at full bandwidth all the time, usually with months of roadmap. If you need code written in some other team's area, the best you'll get is them advising you while you write it. Engineering support members (design, research, product, etc.) occasionally change at random with no notice or reason. Biggest con is that they've been fighting various fires non-stop for months. I wouldn't be shocked if they're out of business in a year or two.
