Pros

The most amazing, smart people I've ever worked with in my life. You get to work on cool projects, lots of opportunities to do all kinds of things. You almost never hear "No" as an employee you always have the opportunity to contribute and grow the business

Cons

I've been here five years as a manager and individual contributor. The rumors you hear about abuse are completely true. Yes people cry at their desks on a regular basis. Yes managers are given unlimited power to browbeat and abuse employees. If you are lucky to be on a team with a mentally healthy manager you will be fine. But upper management has no system to change the culture.

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.
