Pros

- nice office - some very cool people to befriend - competitive salary and decent perks, ex. Equinox - can be fun and fast-paced

Cons

- politicking within teams and between teams - some people feel like diversity hires - little transparency - people seem to not generally love the product; some seem to actually dislike it - middle managers have no/little empathy and are prone to micromanaging - promises of empathy and support without providing resources - unrealistic expectations for performance, and lack of recognition when you try to meet them - food is bland
