Pros

- smart people all around - pretty much some of the highest tech you can see in the field - perks - salary

Cons

Lots of stress if you're on a high profile project. Performance reviews are nightmares. Company direction is getting awkward. Too much external politics in the office.

Great people. but backstabbing

Software engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people around. The best I've ever met! Super ambitious goals. Great benefits. WFH flexibility.

Cons

Performance review. It works this way: 1. Leadership escalate project X 2. You clearly don't see any impact of X, but has to disagree and commit 3. You give the project to an eng from your team (even if they disagree) 4. Eng executes the project 5. PSC comes. And eng does not receive credit for X because, guess what, no impact And this loop happens again and again. You build a special skill how to dodge from this crappy non impactful projects.
