Pros

- Many of smart people to learn from - Good health benefits

Cons

- Low pay. - Backloads stocks in hopes you quit or they "pip" you (it's not your fault if this happens. It is just their easier way of laying people off) before most vest. - Terrible managers that only care about how you can make them look good and how can grow and learn as an individual. Managers will verbally abuse you and act like it is normal. - Zero office perks - You are just a number to them and they will let you go if they need to shift their budget to please shareholders - Zero innovation anymore. It is like day 1.5 now. All the big techs are just copying each other and trying to have a measuring contest at employees expense.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
