Pros

DK definitely asks people to work hard, but they have generous benefits (including tuition reimbursement) and fun extras (in-office massage, haircut, and manicures; snacks; discount tickets to games/concerts) as well as competitive salaries. As part of the tech organization, I get to work on interesting projects alongside some very smart engineers. We have all-hands meetings that are very transparent, and the CEO will answer any question honestly; you can even submit them anonymously ahead of time if you don't want to ask in front of everyone.

Cons

There is a very strong bias for action; this could be a good thing, but sometimes it is pushed too far and results in high stress for little net benefit. The negative media attention can also be a pain -- I work for a great company, love my job and have great career trajectory, but when people ask me about work it is often in this hushed tone, as if they are embarrassedly asking about a relative with addiction problems.

Pros

Best workplace culture and atmosphere I've ever experienced. Opportunity to work with extremely talented, smart, driven and collaborative people. Upper management does a great job of empowering it's employees and showing genuine interest in longer term employee career path. Solid work/life balance (e.g. flex vacation, work form home when necessary) and employee morale has remained positive despite recent legislative hurdles.

Cons

Communication and transparency- which I think is a bi-product of the fast moving nature of the organization. With that, it's obvious that leadership sees these two as areas for improvement and steps are being made to improve both in 2016.
