Pros

Pay, benefits, access to great engineers, courses.

Cons

Growing pains have stayed and engineering skills took a backseat in career advancement to self-marketing. Bad engineering solutions that deliver quick but shaky results, reinvent the wheel, require maintenance and headaches over time get promoted while people who do the actual work and use and maintain these solutions go unnoticed.

Pros

Plenty of perks: health insurance, free food, swag with logo

Cons

Employees are at a total mercy from their managers. Impossible to get away from toxic politics.
