Pros

- Salary and benefits are above market - Codebase is unit-tested to a fault, CI/CD pipeline is sold - Bufo, the LLM doc chatbot is a lifesaver for digging through internals - Customer support dashboard and observability tools are loaded with goodies - Big platform team handles all the scalability heavy lifting

Cons

- Processes and tools are decided for you, hardly any space for smarts or creativity. - Codebase is a tens-of-GB Sorbet-typed Ruby disaster. Leaders flex on 9.99999% uptime, but it means everything's in-house bespoke junk that you'll never see in your next job. - No chill between projects. deadlines are savage, everyone's fried and too slammed to help a teammate. Management's a fear machine. Question them and you're gone. Seen solid folks booted for nothing. - Annual layoffs signal at stack-ranking by naive metrics (lines of code?), forcing even top seniors to grind code instead of leading. - Security's a straitjacket: No unapproved installs, even browser extensions! They raid laptops and grill frequently. - Bug-triaging nightmare from rushed, tangled spaghetti code.
