Pros

Pay is good, work life balance is usually ok, the PTO policy atleast in CA is also pretty good (I've been here 3 years and I can take up to 6 weeks)

Cons

bad leadership, leadership often makes poor choices with the direction of products, and doesn't push back on customers, it puts all of the burden on the actual engineers.
