Pros

Stock value (for now) and opportunity to cross orgs

Cons

Horrible, brutal environment where quality employees are treated like commodities. Managers forced to have 10% "un-regretted attrition" which is code for firing 10% of your people every year. The Grocery team is particularly bad- I've never witnessed so much turnover, poor morale, and ambivalence by senior leaders and HR. The money isn't worth it! Stay away!

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.
