Pros
-Sleek office design **don’t be seduced by the glossy exterior when company culture is rotting from the inside out -Ability to work alongside some brilliant, creative people who help you gain perspective and think differently -Ability to learn about exploitation, the tech landscape as a whole, and how the Silicon Valley works Don’t be fooled by these Silicon Valley terms: “perks” and “growth.” Growth isn’t always good. Perks aren’t either. It depends on who they stand to benefit. Here’s my two sense: you’ll feel pretty burned out by the end of your tenure here, and you can surely burn out literally ANYWHERE else, so why here?
Cons
-Toxic, entitled leadership team that exploits employees and uses fear as a tactic even though it’s [mostly] ineffective -leadership team that pretends to know what it’s doing but has no idea how to create useful and meaningful products or compete in the global marketplace -ask them how many department heads and executive leaders have left in the last 18 months -rampant sexism, cliquey behavior, bullying and demeaning behavior that is not only tolerated but perpetuated by management -lacks effective internal communication strategies that are necessary for cohesion and effective collaboration across offices and countries -boundless entitlement and vanity
