Pros

Very good pay, opportunity to learn a lot technically!!

Cons

This company, right from the lower rung to the upper leadership, is full of pathological liars who preach lofty values in the form of leadership principles, but will not practice any of them in reality. So, anyone going there or already there, do not get deceived by these lies. For example, they talk a lot about customer focus but in my personal experience, they kept lying to the customer promising certain features in their service, even though they knew very well that the promised time line is not realistic. They kept lying just to keep the billions of dollars worth contract!! They also talk about ownership, meaning own a problem and find a solution. Do not put it on others. In this case, I tried to find a solution to the customer's problem, but the leadership stopped me saying it was not our problem. So, this company is full of hypocrisy and liars.

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.
