Pros

- Cool benefits - Great incentives - Several opportunities to grow career - Equipment provided from day one

Cons

- General sense of oppression - No democracy to speak without risk of losing job - Refusal to issue contract before accepting employment (meaning, it is at the candidate's risk to leave their current employer should they be unhappy with contractual terms) - Micromanagement of personal life as well as professional life - Inability to discuss issues professionally without fear of disciplinary - More interested in control than in results. - Bullish attitude imposed through unnecessary escalations of managers when issues are raised

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
