Pros

Stock Performance Great infrastructure and office facility Free Snacks Gym Unlimited AI tokens (for vibe codes)

Cons

1) Work itself is very grunt and full of Claude generated codes as management does not provide realistic timeline and think AI will solve everything 2) Quality of work is poor compared to even smaller companies as vast majority of development is AI generated and I feel that I'm losing my skills and even my ability to think. 3) Work life balance is horrible - routinely working late nights ( 2 AM) and even expectations from management to work on weekends 4) Managers and colleagues calls at odd hours (3 AM) and on weekends

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
