Pros

Worked on cool stuff. Travelled the world.

Cons

I had 4 managers in less than 2 years. One manager was forcibly removed. Terrible pay. Weak bonus and stock awards program. No strategy for the future (my group - not other parts of company). Failure to identify talent and move up or around. Packed too tight in open space seating. Terrible work environment (seating, noise, people smells). Very disorganized global organization structure. Was hard to tell who ran the organization from what part of the world. I received direction from various folks around the globe. Terrible training program. Teach yourself for the most part.

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.
