Pros

* It pays above the industry standard and includes large bonuses and stock units in the form of RSUs.

Cons

* I’ve been with two teams and both times I’ve been given a role that is not what I was hired for. * The training is virtually non-existent. The internal tools to manage packages (Brazil) and their accompanying documentation are abysmal. * So many managers here seem to be excellent sales reps and they have sold me a role twice that is just not at all what I signed up for. There doesn’t seem to be any accountability on leadership for righting their wrongs once you make it in. It’s “Shut up and do what we tell you or get out.” * No integrity in leadership. My current manager is literally lying to her manager about me simply because I refuse to be a QA Engineer when I was hired as a cyber security engineer. * Nowhere to go. I’ve escalated my concerns and have received no responses. I am being forced to resign unless I want to endure more punishment from my manager.

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.
