Pros

- Cool product that is making people’s lives better - Lots of incredibly smart colleagues - Freedom to experiment and try out new things

Cons

- Typical “Tech Boy’s Club” pretending to value diversity - Top down company culture - Everyone is expected to work overhours that go unrecognised (also not compensated) - Favouritism - Autocracy - Huge salary gaps between people doing the same job or who are on the same job level - A lot of company politics - Strong micromanagement in some areas - Weak company culture - Too many meetings - Prides itself being "human", but the reality of working there is the opposite
