Pros

- Strong base pay - Modern buildings and workplace - Large place to meet people with similar interests

Cons

- Unclear Strategy - Short term amnesia to decision making - Slow to make leadership changes. Tenured senior leaders who provide questionable output to their title - The high level of culture is a facade, often hiding really issues that aren't addressed

Pros

Great products and a well-known brand — accountability is optional if you know how to work the system.

Cons

Middle management has been overrun by leaders who know how to manage appearances but not people. The executive team is so far removed from the business that they don’t realize how much misinformation flows up to them. Engineering has become one of the slowest and least effective groups I’ve encountered, a clear example of how unchecked growth can rot a company from the inside out.
