Pros

Great office! Large pantry with lots of options for meals and also a meal card. Casual wear. Great workplace in terms of seating and comfort.

Cons

Poor management style: they promote the people who they are close to or who suck up to them. They tend to neglect the actual issues; they don't listen to the associates. The workplace turned into a lovers point where you can see colleagues making out in elevators, stairs, or even in meeting rooms.

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.
