Pros

Good benefits Nice office space

Cons

Micromanaging Poor training - I received zero training. My manager decided to take a trip to NYC my first 3 days and leave me with nothing to do, and then proceeded to get mad when I left early because I was sitting behind a desk doing nothing for 8 hours. No direction

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
