Pros

I work with a very talented team. Salaries are also great.

Cons

No job security - for two years now they have done layoffs when the company is profitable. The leaders who chose to overhire / make poor investment decisions remain secure in their jobs. I think I will constantly be afraid I will get laid off now. It’s also awful seeing the impact layoffs are having on colleagues. Also stupid RTO policy based on their ‘feelings’ - probably just another tool to encourage employees to quit voluntarily.

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.
