Pros

Kids really love the product, and the social network that goes around it. Co-workers are smart, generally hard-working, and capable.

Cons

CEO business management understanding and sales strategy is clearly not strong. David Baszucki has rather poor people skills. It's a untrusting environment to be in everday and is very draining -- inefficient work flow because the CEO is a super control freak.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
