      Best Perks, worst WLB

      Engineering manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      That's a great place to work if you want good perks and high salary, The people are smart and motivated.

      Cons

      Short term thinking and high pressure to perform. The twice-a-year-performance-review system creates a lot of anxiety, people are goaling on short-term impact over long term sustainability and the environment is full of people who will backstab you using hidden feedback to promote their agenda. Code is terrible, buggy and mostly "hacky" to achieve short term projects.

      Great perks, good compensation, but if you don't fit the company narrative you'll be marginalized fairly quickly.

      Pros

      Campus is amazing, offices have all the perks you could ask for. Resources are never a problem.

      Cons

      Despite what they say at the onboarding, or the all hands, or the company wide emails, upper management is not interested in hearing opposing views. Once you're branded as not being supportive of the collective group thought, your career path will be stunted. Tenure and support for the upper management team is weighted more heavily than individual skills. Your performance review will be mostly based on what others think of you rather than any projects you delivered. If your political skills aren't sharp you'll be collateral damage within your first year.
