Pros

Relatively early and large scale of responsibilities, leading to a very steep learning curve. Significant amount of freedom to experiment.

Cons

Terrible work life balance. Due to mandate of 10% headcount reduction every year constant and unhealthy pressure to prove yourself better than your peer. Far too many meetings bog down productive work. Close to zero investment in people development. HR as a horizontal wing is practically useless. There is a conflict of interest because people leaving can not be honest about their experiences. Massive experience of sycophancy and nepotism

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.
