Pros

A truly nice company with fun, interesting products that are easy to get behind and practically sell themselves. Good overall growth, competitive benefits, smart colleagues and good growth opportunities although not for all. Get in the good books of the GM and you're all set.

Cons

Work culture has tenacious, with politics steadily seeping in. C-suite needs to swoop in and put a stop to it ASAP. HR and upper level management are fully cognizant of the issues as well as those responsible, but are surprisingly lackadaisical. Stress levels are high and at times unhealthy. Face time in the office is not as important but people tend to work long days and weekends.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
