Pros

Good on-site benefits (lunch, gym, etc)

Cons

Awful management. They push you until you die at your desk. You're expected to work through the night, all the time. "Unlimited vacation time" means you're never actually allowed to take any by your boss. Projects turn into zombies that never die. You'll spend all your time in useless meetings surrounded by 30 other people, nobody paying attention to the meeting, everyone working on their laptops and nothing gets done and then you get in trouble for not hitting your checkpoints.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
