Pros

Some teams have interesting work. Recently, there is a move to use more AWS resources for development which is good because all your internal ramp-up and knowledge won't be waste when you leave company.

Cons

Not so great perks compared to other companies of equivalent scale

Pros

Money was ok, but not enough for the stress they put you through

Cons

They stack rank and management has mandatory 10% attrition. They put people on PIP programs they don't intend on passing... 10% might pass? Worst engineering I've ever seen Long hours because of horrible tech debt
