Pros

- top notch product - good benefits - well paid

Cons

- quarterly reviews: frequent quarterly evaluations lead to burnout and prioritize optics over long-term engineering quality. - hyper-competitive environment: The culture forces colleagues to fight for the best projects just to prove their worth, which kills the spirit of teamwork. - proposal fatigue: Constant pressure to 'innovate' by writing endless design docs and proposals is mandatory for everyone, leading to a lot of unnecessary 'busy work'.
