Pros

Campus location is decent. Userbase is engaged. Kids love Roblox.

Cons

Toxic culture. Poor work-life balance. Backstabbing and politics. Desk space is cramped and limited. People treated poorly, as if replaceable. Employees fired regularly without notice. Too much churn. Managers are aggressive, confrontational, micromanagers. Leaders don't inspire by example, preferring to rely on authority and order people around. No learning or growth. Results prioritized over improvement. Lots of people just here for pay, or H-1B visa sponsorship. Few native speakers. Few people genuinely care about their work. Low morale.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
