Pros

Great work environment, nice people, diverse crowd from different backgrounds, countries etc. Tons of social activities and community service opportunities.. Can take a lot of vacation time and good health benefits...

Cons

Very lateral, thus no where to move up in career. Upper management is too young so no one is leaving the company because they have a lot of stock options which limits growth for middle management. Hardly any salary raises. Some departments are better than others but still no promotions are rare. You have to move departments or leave to get recognized.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
