Pros

High salary in the bay area, stock, work from home now widely accepted and post covid wont change that

Cons

bad leadership - projects with arbitrary deadlines - project managers who dont know anything about the project yet are pushy and overbearing about dates/timelines. Product managers who are quick to just escalate things to managers and senior leaders when things dont go their way immediately. product managers who dont work collaboratively with other product managers and will do anything to get their roadmaps prioritized. poor company culture. lack of diversity in the tech side (all Indian, and White is not diversity) They over work their engineers. Leadership doesnt support people on their teams and its easy to get stuck with bad managers with no escape. Ecommerce is a money suck. A lot of your job will be fixing broken technology that was hacked together. Constant re-orgs and changes in teams to the point where you dont even pay attention anymore. No one can speak to the impact of what they are doing they just want it done because their leadership wants it done. People leave in mass every march because thats when bonuses and stock are paid out.

Pros

Workout classes, friends, mooching off of google shuttles (much nicer than the Walmart ones). Take this job if you

Cons

- Low pay, but expected to work at night - Senior leadership has no idea what they're doing and changes initiatives and priorities on a whim. - Critical supporting positions get eliminated on a regular basis - forcing Category Specialists to take on their roles - Morale is non-existent in most teams - no one has a clear sense of what they're doing or how they're being measured - Majority of the work is menial and repetitive - No room for growth internally

Pros

- great coworkers - 4 week onboarding/ training period where you get paid to do nothing - big company name for your resume

Cons

There is a reason turnover rate is so high. - recruiters LIE to you about what you will be doing - training was terrible, you come out just as clueless as before - you're expected to do more than what you get paid for - reviews depend on whether or not your manager likes you - work is incredibly mind-numbing - flex PTO depends on your manager and holiday - work life balance does not exist during holiday - no incentive to stay
