Pros

Really cool coworkers. No kidding, some of them super smart and inspiring. Community driven programs. If you're a curious and enthusiastic person, the world is really your oyster. The bar is always raising (which means you also get to do cool stuff)

Cons

Annoyingly fast paced, sometimes it feels like we don't like to just hit pause sometimes or slow down. Managers perspective is everything. Talent reviews are bs Promotion process is tiring - you have to write your own damn promo doc, after demonstrating it for more than year in most cases, sometimes 2-3 (yay) The bar is always raising (which means if you've been a top performer for consecutive years and then you take a slow year, you'll likely be considered "not meeting the bar")

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
