Pros

Edible free lunch and dinner. Lots of work if you want it.

Cons

All positive reviews here are fake. The company will never IPO, all the bragging about profitability, growth and this and that are lies. The company is essentially completely owned by the original co-founders who are now execs. They have no vision and are essentially all sociopathic. Lots of random firings and churning. Top dog gets mad? You are fired. Not your fault? Too bad, he wants to fire someone to calm his anger. The company is full of new grads but none of them actually want to be here. Any experienced engineers with any self respect will not take the BS from the execs. Execs micromanage to the bones. For non-entry level engineers and managers, you have zero autonomy. This Chief of tech guy will just come in, say no to your plans, sometimes even passively aggressive make some random comments that don't make sense. There is no trust. You basically become the speaker of the top dogs or else you are gone. Anyone who has stayed here for more than 2 years... probably have blended into the politics and kissed up to the top dogs to get power.
