Pros

They sell you the world @ interview stage. Outward looking in, this looks a great company with a great start up culture. They call it a "rocketship" whilst they are selIing it to you. I see all the positive and glowing reviews written here recently and can picture the sales managers and their lackeys that have written them. Who are you trying to convince, yourself? Good luck with that!

Cons

They fail to deliver on anything and then the nightmare really starts. You soon begin to realise that this is broken company with a broken model and a "toxic" culture. The tone is set from the very top here, by the CRO. Compare this company with any start up of It's age and you can really see the comparison: there is a hemorrhage of employees especially in senior positions which tells you a lot about whats its really like as they have view into the company that most lower down don’t. Marketing is the most annoying department with a bunch of jumped up self opinionated 18-21 years jerks you've ever come across (People reading this internally will laugh as they know its the truth) Its a sorority clique at best! (if I could I would give them minus points below on the ratings for culture and senior management, I would)

Pros

Gorgeous offices A lot of opportunity and responsibilities A lot of perks Friendly workers Amazing culture

Cons

This could be considered a con (for lazy/unmotivated people) The company and culture is simply amazing, but in return you are expected to work hard and be the best you can be.

Pros

- The food and tea - A lot of smart engineers on other teams

Cons

As a security analyst I was extremely overworked and under-appreciated. It was not just that I was doing menial work, filling out customer questionnaire after customer questionnaire for example, it was that I was treated as less than other members of the team. Whenever the opportunity arose to be exposed to anything technical, that door was quickly closed with copious condescension. The security engineers that joined after me left as soon as they could too, 3 unhappy exits in a row on the same small team is not a coincidence. All these 'Best Place Ever' reviews seem written by HR. During the first few months people on the team were happy and we had heard that our overall team happiness rate from the employee survey was much higher than the rest of the company, clearly that did not last.
