Pros

Great benefits: Free lunches 2x a week + unlimited snacks In office massages Free clubs, such as boot camp and yoga Great people team: Really care about the employees Continuously asking for feedback Listens to suggestions from any employee (Some) Great ppl: Hardworking smart team mates that are great at what they do

Cons

Management: Many first time ppl managers with little to no training equals a lot of frustration and micro management. Not a lot of transparency in decision making. Favouritism is a thing here on several teams. Constant change in directions means projects stopping mid way or having to redo things more then a sane person should have to. Layoffs: Weird handling of layoffs and a lot of empty spaces makes coming to work a little odd and the offices are often rather empty. Morale: Despite the efforts of the people team in cheering people up with fun events, the morale is not positive. After a handful of unexpected layoffs and departures, many long time employees have started leaving which doesn't sit well for current employees that might feel like staying means going down with the ship.
