Pros

Fast pace, sense of urgency, good people

Cons

Focus on efficiency has led to a ruthless, chaotic environment with more top-down micromanagement. Teams are less empowered to own their direction and execute in a healthy way.

Pros

The engineers are typically top notch. If you can deal with the culture, politics, gatekeeping, and empire building, you can learn a lot and earn a lot.

Cons

The engineering culture has changed from a mostly bottom up approach (engineers identify and fix things that need work), to a mostly top down org. Lots of tracking, OKRs, status meetings, and critical reviews. Review season is brutal for managers and ICs alike.
