Pros

* Flexible hours - you enter when you want and leave when you want as long you complete 8 hours of work; * There is a lot of cool technologies being created; * The payment is not bad; * You are able to express your opinions about the way a project is going;

Cons

* There is a strong sense of competiveness for high positions; * Your opinion is taken only if you insist to the point you are annoying - not because you are right; * The LPs are not followed and act more like a mask to show that the company strive to be the best for all workers; * The feeling of being "just a number" is strong as at any moment a project can be discarted and you are moved to a different project without your consent; * Too much bureaucracy for everything;

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
