Pros

-Great base pay with stock, especially if you don't live in a high cost of living city -Lots of internal roles to consider -Lots of free resources at hubs and larger office buildings -Great company to have on your resume

Cons

-Very unstable, it's common to change managers due to org change at least once a year -Moving to a return-to-office model, limiting options to move around the company if you're unable or unwilling to relocate -Difficult to promote with so many org changes -Work/Life balance must be enforced personally, because management styles and boundaries vary greatly between orgs and individual managers

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.
