Pros

Pay is good, work life balance is usually ok, the PTO policy atleast in CA is also pretty good (I've been here 3 years and I can take up to 6 weeks)

Cons

bad leadership, leadership often makes poor choices with the direction of products, and doesn't push back on customers, it puts all of the burden on the actual engineers.

Pros

Good pay and there are some smart people to work with. The scale is fun as well.

Cons

Lots of nepotism. Don't know how some managers end up in this company. Basically the only skill they have is to threaten you with PIP which seems like something anyone can do, oh wait I know how (see point 1). How well you do is much more about how many useless buzzwords and sloganeering you say in a large audience as long as it makes your manager and his skip feel good, than actually delivering any true value. Management has no ability to think more than one level deep on how to deliver products and team success long term.
