Pros
Product space and tech is interesting, good pay, a lot of excellent engineers.
Cons
Things I noticed during my time: * You will be asked for your opinion, then punished for sharing it if it doesn't match their expectation. I have seen engineers mocked in public by execs for their opinions, followed by backtracking each time. * Cliques are how decisions are made, who is good, who is bad. If you're on the wrong side of the eng clique there is not much you can do. It's hard to understate how toxic this is. * Constant churn of goals, the exec team are pulling in multiple different directions. You may be blamed for following the wrong exec decision. * Constant churn of staff, very static exec team. Ask how many women are left in product and engineering as a tell to how much churn has occurred and of who. * Execs getting into the weeds of decisions rather than dealing with larger systemic issues. * Stunning lack of empathy. The amount of people I've seen fired, burn out or unhappy is so much higher than anywhere else I've seen, hard avoid.
