      Pros

      A place to make mistakes, have the mistake called out, and learn grow evolve as a result

      Cons

      Impossible to achieve a sustainable work life balance. Management is becoming political instead of an idea meritocracy.

      Transparent culture and principles are impossible to implement with day to day workload.

      Pros

      The pay is above market, breakfast and lunch are free everyday, and there are meditation rooms.

      Cons

      The company prides itself on the transparent culture and principles, but with the workload you are given it feels impossible to be able to actually implement these principles. Their Principles are wonderful in theory, but in practice it didn't work for me or several co-workers in my department. You are supposed to be transparent and let everyone know what you are doing at all times (via email updates, shared daily journal entries, etc.) however this led to no one taking responsibility for anything because it was "everyone's responsibility to make sure everyone else is doing their job."
