      Pros

      Constant expansion means strong likelihood of promotion Stock value consistently rising 4 day work week

      Cons

      Expectation of managers to work 50-60 hours during normal weeks, 70-80 during holiday season. Will work one day of the weekend Will have to work at least 12 hours per day Zero job perks, i.e. free food, gym membership, discounts etc. Zero positive feedback, stellar performance is expected. Satisfactory performance is not tolerated. Manual labor required as management.

      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.
