Pros

Good autonomy. Culture can be good but is very team dependent. Has some really smart and dedicated people. Pay is quite good but expectations for engineers is really high.

Cons

Frequent reorgs. Generally most people are pretty competent but somehow we let people slip through who are insanely bad at their job. Some VPs can be extemely toxic but engineers are mostly insulated from them.
