Pros

- Still hybrid work (2023) - Decent wlb

Cons

- Increasingly returning back to office, company-wide - Yearly compensation can be a gamble - Performance reviews don't always take into account all contributions, you really have to make a case for yourself here - Can be hit-or-miss, depending on the team you join

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
