Pros

Onsite cafe's, bonuses, stock options, the opportunity to wear many hats. Yearly raises are not bad.

Cons

The most unforgiving atmosphere I have ever encountered. If you make a mistake you are treated like a second class citizen & you will never hear the end of it. Your hard work will not be recognized or acknowledged, so if you are the type that needs constant validation and a pat on the back, please look elsewhere for employment. Their Core Values are basically the opposite of what they preach. Back-stabbing, shaming, and humiliation are more accurate descriptions. There is an extreme lack of accountability here, you will be blamed from higher ups even if you are not at fault.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
