Pros

One of the best companies with some of the most talented software engineers on the planet. There are tremendous potential for growth and career progression.

Cons

It's a risk averse company that prefers to play it safe while productonalizing new advanced ideas, especially ones that significantly differs from the current behavior which might at times delay adoption of great ideas. Though, this happens at most other well established organizations as well.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
