Good for engineers

Pros

- Good salary - Good work-life balance - Great and wise people in engineering

Cons

- High management seems a bit lost with the company's direction. - High management used to show off more often with internal updates. Now it lacks visibility. - Unpaid on-call rotation with mandatory time-to-respond. Get paid only if called and wasted more than a given time during the incident. - Shifting engineering to India and letting go of great minds with great contributions to the company, leaving void spaces without preparation.

Pros

- Generally good workplace culture - Okay benefits (discounts on the site being a key one) - Decent pay

Cons

- Upper management seems keen on ruining the company. Nobody at the top level is ever held accountable for their poor decisions, so anytime there's been a layoff it's invariably the people at the bottom who bear the brunt - Despite all messaging from leadership, performance reviews are ultimately stack ranked. As a result, promos don't always happen based on merit like they theoretically should
