Pros

-Endless opportunities for growth given the scale of the company -No one tells you that you can't work on a project -There is always hiring to do (which is great as a recruiter) -You're able to be a true partner to Hiring Manager's and the business as long as you stand up for yourself and have manager support -There is an endless amount of problems to solve. Most things are figured out, but there is a lot of room for improvement in pockets and some groups lag behind others

Cons

-Everything I wrote for the pros might be a thing of the past. I was impacted by lay-offs and all of my friends that remain with the company have no work to do and are in a very toxic environment at the moment -Your manager sort of makes or breaks your experience -You won't always get the help you ask for since everyone is so busy

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.
