Pros

The pay is good. There are fun things to do.

Cons

There are clicks. These clicks can cause preferential treatment for some and prejudicial treatment for others. The hours can be long. The support can be lacking or nonexistent.

Pros

There are some seriously smart people working here. Tech stack is pretty good; the cloud teams "get it" and do things mostly the right way. It shows in the product quality. Working from home is a nice perk. Access to the best tools/equipment for what you need to get the job done. Generally engineers' input is valued and can be used to influence product decisions. Getting to work with the technical fellows is awesome because they know everything. They have done a good job with COVID.

Cons

Even though engineering is said to be core to the company, it doesn't feel that way. Constant cutting of R&D budget, a lack of raises, and a hold on promotions, while simultaneously telling folks "you're doing a good job and you matter!" doesn't work. Especially after talking about how 2020 was a great year despite all the challenges the company faced. Important technical decisions are made with minimal input from the people actually doing the work. Or even worse, they ask us for them, then ignore input, and do things the way that the "15000 foot view" decided on to begin with. Products are built as "urgently needed" then abandoned before they get much traction. There is a lack of transparency about the company's financials. Requests for more transparency have been sort of met but there is still not much. Commitments are made to growing certain offices as R&D centers, then staff is not replaced when attrition occurs. You basically have to get a requisition filled at the right time to replace someone. This works...sometimes.
