Pros

- My experience as an engineer has been comparable with the one I had working for Google, that is, there are lots of perks and the company is very engineer-centric - They really care about you as a person. From the top of the line development machines to ergonomic chairs, and you can expense anything related to your personal development - Lots of perks. Work/life balance is great as well.

Cons

- Fully remote. Although for some people this is a huge benefit. Personally I like to be around other people. The company organises events every now and then so that people can meet in person. - The code base is a bit hard to follow due to lack of comments and documentation.

Pros

All the perks they describe etc

Cons

Data org is riddled with bad infrastructure, poor management, and the idea that you can hire a bunch of business analysts ("data scientists") and have them develop machine learning products that require engineering. Also, way too much kool-aid.
