Engineers Beware!

Pros

There are very strong and hard working individual contributors that were a pleasure to work with. Company has a strong focus on customer and suppliers, a winning recipe for the industry.

Cons

Dysfunctional leadership, poor pay, unless you like politics and managing upwards awful career opportunities Company preached the mantra of "move fast its ok to break things" (but you will be yelled at). Planning, good engineering design, knowledge preservation were not considered valuable. Combined with the high attrition rate (the team I was with had a 100%+ yearly churn rate across all levels from engineers to associate director) had led to a platform that is comically bad in many areas with little to no ownership and subject area expert. Of course internally its heralded as "cutting edge" and "best in class"

Pros

You're always gonna look forward to office parties and socializing in the kitchen which is stuffed with snacks. Everyone's young and attractive and so the environment is fun.

Cons

Pod outings are a nightmare if you hate your management like me. Some girls are very catty and gossipy so it's a little awkward. I've encountered a lot of mean management. They never accept their own faults but if you make a mistake all hell breaks lose.

Pros

Smart people, engaging environment, action oriented, moves fast, encouragement to challenge yourself and keep improving

Cons

A lot of new people, so it is hard to find people that knows what they are doing and constant reorganizations. This also creates a lot of opportunities for promotions and being involved in the company
