Pros

* Variety of useful benefits that go beyond simple health insurance and 401k match * Relaxed work culture that promotes healthy work/life balance * Lots of experienced people who are willing to share their knowledge * It's possible to move within the company and explore different roles

Cons

* Core benefits are simply average * Monetary compensation is below average * Virtually impossible to be promoted without changing teams * Management and teams are hugely variable--some managers care about their team members and their professional development, others will leave all actual management duties to their direct reports * While *most* coworkers are knowledgeable and hardworking, a significant portion cannot be relied upon

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
