Pros

Lots of benefits mostly nice people working there

Cons

Ancient technology stack that will leave your technical skills in atrophy. Lack of uniform direction or leadership in the company, the amount of pivoting makes it difficult to accomplish anything longterm. Huge expectation differences between SREs and developers with regard to best practices. Complete lack of remote work flexibility, all employees must be in overcrowded offices most days of the week leading to lack of parking, long lines for bathrooms and cafeteria, no conference room availability, and cramped workspaces

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
