Pros

- Stable in that you know the company is always growing - Met very smart people

Cons

- Layoffs hit morale really badly and the way they did layoffs really made it seem like upper management did not care - Oncall is rough

Pros

Solid compensation. Any work you do is at huge scale so it is at least a little interesting. WLB is not bad (retail, non-AWS side)

Cons

Offices are quite cramped and bare with not many perks, this matters more to me now that we are full time in-office. I am interviewing elsewhere because of it. Culture is meeting and doc heavy. Things move really slowly.
