      Pros

      Joined when the company was going through big changes. Largely under-appreciated company and what it offers. Lots of projects to contribute to. Amazing scale. Had ample chance to deal with big data. Lots of interesting and challenging problems to solve. Chance to make direct impact in people's lives. Reasonable work-life balance.

      Cons

      Lots of unnecessary politics. Developers needed to work for many years to be up for promotion. Went through a re-org every couple of months.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
