      Pros

      First years compensation is market rate. Very efficient hiring process for the candidate.

      Cons

      Highly layered. Constraints on how people talk to each other. Hiring process for manager makes brining in new talent very cumbersome. No real standards - all teams operating in silos. Significant biases acros regions - doesn't operate a global team. Comp is out of step with othe FNGs, startups and some financial firms.

      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.
