Pros

The work can be interesting and the engineers are very smart. You will rarely feel that your coworkers aren't up to snuff. Your work is can be quite self directed depending on your direct manager. The benefits package is good. The stock varies wildly so it is possible to get a nice kicker on the salary from the ESPP and stock bonuses.

Cons

The upper management treats the engineers like children. The praise for a job well done is shallow and public scolding via email is a common technique to "motivate" individuals and teams. The constant state of emergency dulls your senses over time. The lack of investment in infrastructure to prevent the next crises is frustrating and demoralizing. The workplace is all business all the time - all employee events such as holiday parties have been turned into charity events that management will pressure you to contribute to.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
