Pros

Flexible set schedule (schedule is set but there are 4 different shifts to choose from), health benefits are okay but I've seen better.

Cons

There is no communication between management and team members or between departments, management is very unprofessional, ageism is a thing here as no member of management seems to be above the age of 30 at all, HR is completely useless and I have yet to see what purpose they actually serve since they are either not able to help or ask me to use the web portal to resolve the issue, nepotism runs rampant here, it seems like the job is designed for employees to fail.

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.
