Pros
Standard tech industry perks which involve free food, free booze and of course the unmissable ping pong table. Needless to say you're fully empowered to pick your own favourite Sharpie colour and Post-it stack. Democracy at its best. Having said that, this is a good place to begin your career straight out of uni, but don't stick around as you'll pick up bad habits.
Cons
Behind the immediate perks and claims of being able to make decisions when best placed to, there is absolutely no trust from management and the executive team towards the teams. All the structural changes that have been put in place by new execs clearly demonstrate that teams should carry on being distracted by free cake and balloons, whilst nothing gets better, but infact gets worse for most, but benefits just a handful. No sense of urgency which means there is poor true employee engagement and also loads of coasters that are simply too short-sighted to see they are picking up bad habits that will never be accepted elsewhere. The great culture some talk about, is more like when you're in school and you're part of the right crowd. If you're an independent thinker, eager to fine-tune your craft and experiment you will automatically belong to the wrong crowd. When the wrong crowd numbers start rising, more right crowd types are brought in from the right kind of places to secure majority. HR is more than a joke whereby there's been clear injustices across all departments but everything is dangerously brushed off as coincidental or environmental.
