Pros

-Great building/facilities -Amazing users of the product -Good salary/benefits -Great cafeteria in the pre-COVID days

Cons

-In my opinion, a toxic culture in the UX Group -In my opinion, poor UX leadership -Many people I speak with on the UX team have very low morale -In my opinion, the people with any real UX skills or a moral compass ran for the exit over the past 3 years. I have been to a lot of awkward goodbye parties -It feels to me like we stopped hiring people with actual UX experience and now bring on engineers and offer them a few classes in UX instead. Not the best system in my opinion. -

Pros

Nice small team, personal office, breakfast and lunch. Some excellent engineers are really helpful and love to share and teach. Best work-life balance for most teams.

Cons

Office politics since the reorganization, that is really not good for working. Even though there are still some excellent senior and principal engineers who are really helpful, something that happened is distract the work and betrayed their values.
