Pros

- Okay compensation, if you have enough RSUs left in the pipeline - You get to work with a bunch of smart people

Cons

- Toxic hustle culture - Baseline expectation is to "exceed expectations" - for which you'll get "meet expectations" rating - Stack ranking - High churn rate, most of the good employees leave - Toxic and obtuse management - Terrible work life balance - Slow promotion process - you're effectively required to work at next level for at least half a year before you're even considered for promo to that level (basically working over and above your current level, for no additional pay) - Some mild racism/sexism

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.
