Reorgs more often than not mess with good things Reorgs are quite common Bad processes for promotion if you are not in pure software engineering track (e.g., lots of variance in process for ML scientists and Engineers)

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.
