Pros

- Free fountain drinks/coffee/beverages - Free on site gym - ESPP/RSU/401 K ( 100% match for first 4%) - Nice and clean buildings - on site cafe (but food is not free and not cheaper than outside either)

Cons

- stressful and fast paced - claim they are the largest start up in the world - no work/life balance. people work like crazy with long hours - promotion to people who they know , not based on knowledge and performance - lots of office politics. have to be very careful

Pros

Great company! My managers and directors care about who I am as a person. They want you to succeed and be efficient at the role so you have the tools and support to foster that growth.

Cons

Big company energy. Can be draining month after month. Sales as a whole can be tiring but it’s very rewarding when you get lucky, put in the hard work and hustle!

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
