Pros

- Great Benefits - Great CEO (Dan Schulman) and CTO (Bill Ready) - Encouraging physical environment - Uses the best technology tools - Non-senior developers are the best (Don't go to seniors for questions, they have attitude)

Cons

- Micro Management - Standups are more than 30 mins, goes to an hour or so - No Multi-culture - Higher or executive management don't care under the hood when employees are stressing out with micromanagement of these bad managers. - Code added complexity by senior guys, they only know... and they are busy... on top of it, they show off that they are best brains when you go to them. The first thing to eradicate/reduce, the manager should stop going to them for everything.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
