Pros

- Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner provided on campus (NOMS) - Coffee and Smoothie bars - League of Legend RP, Valorant VP distributions - On site gym - Work Hard, Play Hard mentality. 3 weeks of Company PTO (1 week summer break and 2 weeks of winter break)

Cons

- Lots of different teams and processes unique to the operation of those teams, so everyone's experience is not exactly the same - Went about 3 months without a manager because the bar is really high for management

Pros

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Cons

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
