Pros

Awesome culture, great friendly coworkers and management, awesome benefits. Hack weeks every quarter, food is great, location is awesome as well.

Cons

Grew (and growing) way too fast, a few bad eggs in mid management, some teams are given much higher priority over others, very slow to fire problem employees. Entitlement amongst a small vocal minority. Some employees have poor soft skills.
