Pros

They hold a high standard on work/life balance by NOT incentivizing overtime and encouraging efficiency during work hours to get stuff done. They provide mentors and teach you a great portion of what you need to know. If you possess curiousity, ask the right questions, and like to build your own schedule (during work hours), this is the place for you!

Cons

As a college graduate entering industry for the first time, I was overwhelmed with how many processes and workflows I had to learn, some of which I didn't ask because I had so many questions. After this phase, it was smoother sailing and easier days.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
