Pros

- free lunch, playstation(wont get time to play), gko travel and accomodation(pretty luxurious) - one part of the engineering still seems to be doing well with a good environment

Cons

- very toxic management - cannot question back and have to accept decisions, solutions, architecture handed down from top level - have to take full blame for failure even though it happened because of the handed down decision - awful work life balance and then no reward or recognition - highly driven by fear and politics, management seems to be vengeful and vindictive - the platform is not self serve so there is not that many interesting problems of scale - seen too many smart people having the worst time even though they gave their all and eventually leaving - surveys are not anonymous and your response will have repercussions - not a very inclusive environment - have to constantly sell yourself and step over others or else you will get crushed

Pros

The paycheck was on time. The infrastructure didn't get in my way technically.

Cons

•Ideas I brought up in meetings were routinely dismissed, only to see the exact same ideas approved weeks later when repeated by someone within the inner circle. •Meaningful projects consistently went to those already tied into the right connections, and it was clear capability had little to do with it. •Real mentorship and guidance existed, but it happened in closed conversations I was never part of, while others received constant support from senior engineers. •Key decisions were made in small informal groups, and I would only learn about them after everything had already been decided. •I was repeatedly assigned lower visibility infrastructure work while others were given opportunities to grow through impactful projects.
