Pros

Smart colleagues in general. Free lunch offered in San Francisco office. Pay levels are decent if you have 4-5 years of experience. Amazing views from the office.

Cons

Employee burnout due to long hours and face time requirements. This has led to lots of turnovers. Too much politics at play and meritocracy is a joke. The head of one of the large teams got the job without any prior experience in the area tells you all. Very difficult to transition into another role. Options are to stay in the current role or to look for another job.
