Pros

- top of market pay - smart & helpful teammates - good benefits (401k, wellness reimbursement, free food)

Cons

- Stack ranking lots of competition & scope fighting - Loads of trash work, it doesn't help me but I gotta do it - Not very diverse - Lots of metric hacking for self-review, useless projects sold as impact. - Constant high-urgency state, like alert fatigue, you just don't care after a while.
