Pros

-- Coworkers are very intelligent -- Flexible work schedule -- Standard perks -- beer and wine at happy hour, foosball table and video games, food all the time -- About to move into a giant new headquarters

Cons

-- Engineering culture has become very fragmented. In the years since I started, the social community has faded and it's harder to connect with engineers outside of your team. -- It's harder than it should be to switch teams, and hard to figure out how to advance your career.

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
