Pros

Umm... It shouldn't be this hard to think of SOMETHING. I guess the hire process is easier than anything I've ever experienced. You aren't interviewed. You go online to set up a time to go in for them to get your pertinent info, do a drug test, and get your consent to do a background check. You are hired solely based on that. As long as you pass the drug test and background is satisfactory, you're good to go. The benefits are good too.

Cons

Awful pay. Leadership is completely detached. Employee evaluation is based exclusively on a flawed system of quantity, which is extremely vulnerable to abuse by lazy employees and is incapable of recognizing outstanding effort. Long story short; don't try to over-achieve here. It will absolutely not be recognized. Also, advancement is almost impossible. At least where I was. The best chance is being open to transfer elsewhere, which is unrealistic for most people.

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.
