Pros

Team members are always here to support and help whether it is technical question or not. Tons of documentation.

Cons

Due to high amount of documentation some of it rot. Not a big deal taking into account rapid development.

Pros

Pay is good, fully remote, still a lot of talented engineers left. If you're on a good team, day-to-day work is very enjoyable.

Cons

With constant change of priorities and reorgs there's never time to focus on long-term projects. Instead of performance-based terminations, there are periodic layoffs with people chosen at random. Lots of hard-working engineers with glowing performance reviews gone. ICs are blamed for management mistakes. When tech debt creeped in and customers started leaving due to platform instabilities, the executives didn't even acknowledge that prioritizing fast feature shipment led to this situation, they just blamed individual engineers for not being cautious enough when deploying changes.
