Pros

-good pay and benefits -great office locations -the social events are great -good people that are passionate about the work they do

Cons

-there’s a clear lack of diversity across multiple teams. Black/latinx employees are tokenized. -men on the engineering teams are misogynistic. -they’re unable to retain non-white employees. -Managers are incompetent and leadership+pbp don’t listen/action on the feedback that is given to them. -guilting people about having a job during a recession. I’ve seen this used by managers+leaders when valid concerns are being expressed. Discussion/criticism is normal and you should not fear retaliation if you don’t agree with everything your manager does/says. -very cliquey.
