Pros

Interesting Work and affordable products

Cons

We are so pressured to hit our hiring #s, people do not treat the candidates and each other with respect. It's impossible to feel good about what you do when you are bringing people into this environment. Recruiting leadership is overall weak and toxic. HR knows but doesn't do anything either because they don't care or have no clue how to fix it.

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.
