Pros

Very clear path to promo. If you want it hard enough you can achieve it here. But definitely comes at a cost

Cons

PIP culture, management roulette, god-like complex from people one level above you. Horrible TPM culture, bad team culture. If you're not in first, you're in last and everyone coordinates to cut you out.

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.
