      Pros

      The pay and good serverance if you are laid off.

      Cons

      Given the mass layoffs, the workload is heavy and it does not stop. AI helps with productivity, but given the workload, it just gives you time to do other work. The new annual review process (yes, we have stacked ranking) is even more cut-throat. You work 50+ hours a week non-stop and show impact to just keep your job.

      Pros

      Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

      Cons

      Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
