Pros
High salary in the bay area, stock, work from home now widely accepted and post covid wont change that
Cons
bad leadership - projects with arbitrary deadlines - project managers who dont know anything about the project yet are pushy and overbearing about dates/timelines. Product managers who are quick to just escalate things to managers and senior leaders when things dont go their way immediately. product managers who dont work collaboratively with other product managers and will do anything to get their roadmaps prioritized. poor company culture. lack of diversity in the tech side (all Indian, and White is not diversity) They over work their engineers. Leadership doesnt support people on their teams and its easy to get stuck with bad managers with no escape. Ecommerce is a money suck. A lot of your job will be fixing broken technology that was hacked together. Constant re-orgs and changes in teams to the point where you dont even pay attention anymore. No one can speak to the impact of what they are doing they just want it done because their leadership wants it done. People leave in mass every march because thats when bonuses and stock are paid out.
