Pros

-Nice people -Remote working (though there's been a change in policy and teams are being forced back to offices soon) -Competitive pay

Cons

-Systems are archaic and duct taped together -Onboarding is terrible, ramp up takes 6+ months; expectation is you train yourself by sifting through a mountain of (outdated) microsites -Unnecessarily stressful work environment -Work/life balance is really bad -Leadership Principles are conflicting; politics drives which LPs to apply to any given situation

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.
