Pros

Great web site, cool office space, free energy drinks and snacks. Co-workers are smart and all work hard. Free lunch on Fridays, catered in.

Cons

Management is narcissism on steroids - they made up the kool aid and drank it and shove it down everyone elses throat. The hype is all day long, lots of stupid pep rally type meetings. 10 hr days plus and encouraged, public scoffing at under achievers, You sit next to people who haven't sold anything all day yet their numbers say differently. If you can keep up hype you have a chance to do well, if you even look tired or disheartened, you are on your way out.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
