Pros

great perks (gifts, salaries, events) and work life balance - can log off after 5pm

Cons

Not the best place to grow. measuring your success more based on output rather than solving problems. Things are all over the place, projects don't even have PMs, and the projects you're working on could even get scrapped. Too many changes within the org hard to keep track of. Sucks that all your growth is dependent on your lead, if you get a mean lead, good luck getting a promotion. not much diversity. Could get stuck fixing accessibility issues all day.

Pros

Remote flexibility, good pay. Interesting products

Cons

AI is running the business to the ground. More bad managers than good. Managers can't protect team time or priorities. General guidance has been speed over quality, and then get upset when poor results happen
