      Not enjoyable

      Pros

      Free food, some smart people, very challenging. Free transportation to and from NYC. Some other perks...amazing holiday parties. That's about it tbh.

      Cons

      Turnover here is around 50% for a reason. Managers squeeze you for all your worth and then dump you. "Principled" varies based on who your manager is. More often than not, it means constant beratement and very little constructive feedback. It works for some people. No work/life balance.

      Don't pay attention to the media hype

      Pros

      The "culture" is not that crazy as some people make it out to be. It's just a bunch of extremely driven people.

      Cons

      The location is super boring if you're young and looking for fun things after work. Also, as the company has become larger it's lost its entrepreneurial spirit.

      constant criticism and unnecessary pain for employees results in demotivation, loss of confidence and inability to get things done.
