Pros

You get a middling job that will pay the bills and work remotely that will give you an excuse to hide from disrespectful or moderately competent coworkers. You get to work against other teams and compete to be better than all the rest, the best like no one ever was. You might get to work with a leader that doesn't assign you the same task also assigned to several others, unbeknownst to you. You can take unlimited vacation and fall behind your co-workers on their way to a promotion before you, even though you completed everything in good order. You get a high chance of taking on work that will not get recognized because the leader that designed the project was confused and can't understand if there's any business value. You might still have some of the benefits advertised by the time you start. You might have a chance to switch teams or move internally if leadership thinks a new shiny title and rebranding an existing role are important in the next year.

Cons

This is a complete bureaucracy now. Any merit based teams are few and far between. Those teams are also probably not hiring, as they are being forced to conform or actively being managed out by being given unrealistic expectations. Culture, teamwork, and comradery are all rapidly declining as teams feel pit against each to produce.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
