Pros

Good company to start with and flexible working hours but depends on project to project

Cons

After completion of 1 year story starts , If you are among the unfortunate and special one chosen by your manager or by the management,you will be a part of RIF and placed in the most awesome self improvement program that is called as PIP. You will mostly be placed in PIP for a period from 30 days to 90 days and which will be used against you and only for documentation. Your manager will be in super active agile process mode with meetings and feedback every week even though your manager would have skipped some essential meetings in the past. Writing is on the wall you have to go. PIP is used as a tool for RIF. Be cautious after completing one year. its about surviving year after year. Be careful with the Mid-Term, essentially you get a bad mid term even if you do your best your annual appraisal will be really bad. The management is using PIP as a tool to show the door even though your team is doing overall good. Check your manager behavior if he is ought to get its better to leave the company and look for a job elsewhere. Even your past good records will be ignored if placed under PIP. Its about surviving year to year now in this company.

Pros

Room to move around roles, departments Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections Great experience building Cool products

Cons

Mediocre pay Confusing processed- subject to change Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad. Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones. Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!” “This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals” Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
