Pros
Lots of fun off-sites. Lots of young people who want to spend time with each other. Gaming consoles and arcade games in the office. Phone booths are cool to have private conversations or remote meetings Bungalows are nice to have meetings in or to collaborate on projects. Gym reimbursement policy and the Vungle exchange program. Catered lunches with a food budget on days that it isn't catered.
Cons
The company is full of two faced people. All the way from your colleagues to the executives. They may say something nice to your face about your performance, then go behind your back to your manager and complain that you are not performing well enough. They will fire people for false accusations with no proof. No matter how hard you work or how well your performance reviews are, they do not promote people or give raises. Some of my co-workers who have been here for almost 3 years have not gotten a single raise or promotion. Your performance reviews are based on rumors or only on the mistakes you may have made, while your successes go unnoticed or unmentioned. The managers are all inexperienced and have no clue what they are doing or how to run a team properly. The front door might as well be a revolving door. People are leaving as fast as we are hiring. The company absolutely plays favorites, if someone is underperforming but is someone's favorite they will hire people to help them improve. However, if you aren't and someone doesn't like you, they will do everything in their power to get you fired even if you are a top performer. No matter how well you perform if you make one mistake they will use it against you and fire you. Every department has incompetent people who aren't doing their jobs properly but nothing happens to them because they are someone's favorite. There are people with engineer titles that don't want to code and people who aren't even in your department who try tell leads and managers how to run their teams. They don't allow working from home for most employees, except some employees can work from home once or twice a week or even go on a trip and work remotely without giving notice. The company used to be a cool place and a lot of fun but that all changed after they hired a new HR team last year. The company runs like a high school or fraternity with people constantly gossiping about other coworkers, watching your every move, making up rumors or straight up lies about each other. You can't trust anyone, plus anyone with any real talent has either been fired or left the company. There are a few great people still here, and it is only a matter of time before they leave.
