Pros

- Reasonable benefits (though could be better) - Home office, low supervision, generally speaking chill - Great place to learn, lots of experienced and welcoming people - Annual bonuses based on company targets

Cons

- Salary got worse compared older targets - Bad retention strategies for higher seniority employees - Lack of clear career path - Culture is not uniform, despite attempts to fix this - Terrible communication between teams, lots of NIH syndrome inside the same company - Different managers have different opinions on how to handle similar issues - Managers decide in technical matters based on own misguided ideas - Mobile strategy is wonky at best, teams are coming apart despite being a core company objective
