Pros

Great employee perks (snacks, drinks, concerts) Great colleagues!

Cons

Highly political environment Focus changes regularly and medium or long term tasks are almost impossible to achieve. Product leads the company and pays little attention to tech debt. Little opportunities to get a salary raise or career progress.
