      Pros

      Pay is good, usually working with smart people.

      Cons

      Yearly layoffs, and recently upper level management micromanaging random metrics causing teams to scramble to create solutions to play numbers game with the metrics that don't actually solve real problems.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
