Pros

- weekly breakfast and drink fridge are nice - benefits were nice before being acquired (people will loose a lot of benefits from this) - the mission was inspiring, before it was bought by we work - the people were great to work with

Cons

Management here is terrible - they are disorganized - they play favorites - they are ruled by egos - they don't have experience in the roles they are working in - they do something wrong, then say OOOPS sorry that won't happen again, rinse and repeat - there's no accountability for them besides management, some other cons - old timers are difficult to work with - the company says they value change, but don't listen to ideas for change - you're expected to work crazy hours, because everything is an emergency - there's a strange secret keeping, private calendar "you can't trust anyone" culture because everything here is very political - they brag about being a diverse team, but what they mean is there's more than 0 women in tech... there's not much support for any other type of diversity and there certainly isn't a structure to help people of under represented minorities succeed. For example this past summer they had a women in tech internship program, but the majority (90%) of the mentors were men This place knows how to sell themselves as a great place to work, don't be fooled.
