Pros

Work-life balance is ok with the exception of the times in which engineering is under a tight deadline. Pay has generally been very generous. The managers are usually very personable and easy to like.

Cons

We have been through a lot of change lately. Engineering isn't viewed very positively by other organizations (Product, UX) which makes it get things done especially if you are the type of person who is usually good at working across siloes.
