Pros

Driven peers that all are relatively smart. Recognizable brand and projects that show worldwide impact. Happy hours and team events pretty regularly.

Cons

Leadership is lacking. Many leaders spending time on the “who did this” rather than “how can we fix it?” Many people put on development plans or forced out due to stacked ranking system. Processes are all very fluid and turnover is so high that usually you’re working with people who don’t understand the process or know their own job. Lots of priority on meeting a deadline rather than doing it the right way.

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.
