Pros

Above average benefits, employee care, empathy, great place to begin a career as a first or second job, generally most people are nice.

Cons

Inexperienced management, great engineering talent but listless due to some ex-Google employees who have unbelievable arrogant attitudes. Razor thin execution excellence , most plans are only on paper. Sky high attrition.

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
