      Interesting work, but very difficult to get promoted to director level

      Senior manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have done the best work of my career.

      Cons

      Unless you have a private understanding with your manager before you join, you will likely not be promoted to higher levels. Career development is reserved only for the chosen few and not made explicit. Opportunities to grow by changing teams is much more limited that at most large companies, because the managers see movement as disloyalty rather than a natural outcome of having no clear career development promotion path.

      Strong pay and world class coworkers, terrible work life balance and transparency

      Corporate recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well above market compensation. Many companies say that they have world-class talent, but from my experience staffing many of the largest tech companies in Silicon Valley, they have some of the sharpest people I've ever met. Incredible buildings and amenities. Ability to learn from incredibly bright coworkers.

      Cons

      Terrible individualistic culture with everyone only looking out for themselves. No work/life balance (I worked about 70 hours a week to meet the near-impossible expectations with no recognition of hard work). Complete lack of transparency. Culture of fear with no feedback. Everyone was terrified every time our Director walked in the room, she was a boss, not a leader. It's the wild west, everyone only looks after themselves and there is no structure whatsoever to give you any guidance. The benefits are surprisingly bad for such a large and prestigious company. Still have to pay for all food/lunches with no snacks in the cafes (I know we are privileged here in the Valley but all of their peers have everything free). AT THE END OF THE DAY, you will learn a ton, get paid a ton and work on some really cool stuff. BUT, this will come at the expense of poor work-life balance, a fear/hierarchical/selfish culture.
