Pros

They pay their professional staff well and grant staff options.

Cons

The culture is horrible and they expect you work many more hours than is reasonable. In the 2 years that I worked there I averaged over 70 hours per week. Work-life balance is non existent. Also, the managers are pitted against each other, they shout at each other, and as a Sr. HR Manager I was helpless to do anything about 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.
