Pros

Co workers were nice to work with Positive environment

Cons

Not paid for all work hours. Scam of a payment system. Expected to be available off hours to make various phone calls and be on for “conference calls” every morning. Your phone bill will be $600 a month. Not kidding. You are expected to “check in” with your manager every two hours on shift. you will be micromanaged and will be expected to micromanage others. Not compensated for extensive travel fees and gas. Not quite a pyramid scheme but basically They will tell you there is great work-life balance but there is none. You’ll be strongly encouraged to only hang out with your employees and abandon your social life. Your paychecks will be about $600. No info on your taxes being taken off will be given.

Pros

- Looks good in the resume - If you're lucky, you get to work in a team with nice and ambitious folks. I personally loved my team there - Heard the office and free lunch are nice - Good place for congeniality folks. If you make your work visible, you get rewarded

Cons

- Leadership doesn't seem to know what it wants, focus is always shifting based on Silicon Valley trends - Lots of back channelling — design leadership seems to bully their ICs - Top-down projects that don't necessarily relate to real user needs - Lack of support for junior-mid designers - Teams may have conflicting KPIs that make it hard to collaborate

Pros

Great WLB. The domain is not too stressful. If you're lucky you get to work with talented developers.

Cons

Typical growing pains. Design craft skill is not that mature yet. Build speed can feel much slower than bigger companies I joined before
