Pros

The offices are beautiful, the in house food and perks are lavish. They make everything as streamlined and effortless as possible. For someone just starting out or looking for an internship, it could be a fun place to work.

Cons

Unfortunately, it was a toxic work environment. Many people were on the verge of burnout, fearful of losing their jobs, under constant criticism. Competition to be visible and popular was high. It was sad to see how they treated some people and the damage it did to their health, families and careers.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.
