Pros

Free lunch once a week, frequent company events/happy hours, global workforce, friendly talented employees

Cons

Over the past few years a majority of engineering has been fired, leaving many teams with a skeleton squad. The company has shifted to quick delivery and super micromanagement. The mandatory office hours are 8:30-6pm with no flexibility, 5 days a week. For some reason engineering is the only department that has to be in the office on Fridays, other departments WFH. The company has also long cultivated a diverse workforce, often non-citizens, and recently they are not allowing anyone to take vacation longer than 2 weeks and making travel abroad impossible if you aren’t a us citizen.
