Pros

You get stabbed in the back so often, you'll develop a sixth sense You've hit rock bottom, but on the bright side you will never work anywhere as bad as this place ever again 100% guaranteed to work for the worst manager of your life. So the only way is up after this point.

Cons

L7 and L8's are clueless. They give of a facade of knowledge but it's paper thin. Once you drink the Kool aid there's no going back. Metrics mean nothing if they're not accurate, sadly noone cares so long as they paint a pretty picture Managers who get poor scores in connections do org restructures to try and hide their ineptitude Pay is abysmal. Be warned they suck you in with shares but because of the shares performance you get no salary increase No interest in development Really inward looking, little interest in developing collaborative relationship with suppliers Great people being forced out or treated maliciously by fools, means you learn very quickly that have backbone disagree and commit is just words. They don't want any disagreement, just fawning sycophants They constantly look to cut corners which will be dangerous at some point very soon

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.
