Highly interesting but not very productive.

Pros

Creative and interesting culture. Opens employees to blunt honesty and straightforward criticism. Definitely is highly focused on self-improvement.

Cons

Can be very unproductive at times, with meetings over tiny details blowing up to take hours. Oftentimes the critical culture can be inefficient and lead to a lot of unnecessary focus on unimportant facets of a project.

Pros

Great parties, facilities, amenities, benefits. Comp is good as well. Forces you to be come a better thinker and deal with ambiguity. Skills don't matter

Cons

Middle Management either does not exist, when it does, it does not have a clue on whats going on, while this is all going on, the few hard working talented people who can get things done are constantly grilled about whys behind their thinking
