Pros

Interesting approach to database services

Cons

- Business priorities are random and don't connect to the success of the whole company. - Employees are treated like furniture that can be reassigned roles and responsibilities as will, regardless of employee skills and/or preference. - Annual review (regardless of how it is framed) are not based on data, rather, based on impressions of others

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.
