Pros
Working at one of the leading companies in AI, and providing over 1/3 of the world’s internet. Healthcare benefits are great!
Cons
Vague and cut throat. There is a culling each year of at least 5% of employees in each org. They lay off high performing people to meet goals. Doesn’t matter how good they are at their job. I’ve seen so many excellent people targeted and PIP’ed for literally no reason and their mgrs tear them down and drive them out to meet attrition goals. Mgmt hides this process from the ICs but rest assured it is practiced. Leadership is highly political and narcissistic, The higher one moves up, the more sociopathic they are. CULTURE OF FEAR. Get your high salary and leave by year 4 after all your RSUs vest. Most don’t stay that long. 90% of teams are ruthless, 10% are ok to be in. Don’t expect to work less than 50 hours a week, usually it’s a lot more at top speed and you will always be assigned far too much work. Work life balance is horrid. Expect to take leave of absences for mental health. You will have anxiety, depression and PTSD. Do not trust HR. Don’t ever think you are safe in your job. They’ll cut you in a heartbeat.
