Pros

- You get to work with a lot of experienced people, and there's always something new to learn. Finding a mentor or getting guidance, even from people outside your team, is super easy for any area you want to grow in. - Fairness: You get back what you put in. - The salary is better than average. - Great company culture. You can always speak your mind, be yourself at work, and share new ideas, especially when something needs fixing.

Cons

You will have many responsibilities and your job needs to be put as a priority. If you're looking for a 9 to 5 schedule, this might not be the right fit for you.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
