Pros

- Looks good on a resume - Lots of different possible projects and teams so it is easy to always be learning something new

Cons

- High turnover, people come here for the resume entry and then leave for companies that treat their employees better - Out of touch executive team with extremely poor communication skills, whenever a big decision is made nobody knows what is going on, even up to a VP level - Leadership Principles are not followed by executive teams, they’re just there to chastise you

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.
