Pros

* Customer obsession. * If you're smart to not get trapped in the politics of the "bureaucratic middle", you can find a lot of agency for building and delivering valuable products.

Cons

* A lot of of SOP make prototyping harder than it should be, but it's usually there for good reasons. * DEI culture creates pockets of adolescent mentality adults, sometimes feeling you've stepped into a kindergarten or mental clinic, but it's not near as bad as the big ones (and little ones) from SF.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
