Pros

- free food and beautifully designed office spaces with stunning views - highly recognizable brand, looks great on your resume

Cons

- they sell a “growth mindset” to disguise the fact there is so much disorganization, lack of process and zero accountability -interview process is plagued with bias - Random interviewers from other teams will decide your fate rather than the team members and hiring manager you would directly work with -contractors are treated as disposable -lack of training opportunities, leaving you set up for failure -politics and favoritism can ruin your career growth -company structure/hierarchy much like the day to day process is so deeply disorganized = reorg hell -high turnover everyone has been in their roles for less than a year

Pros

Was very straightforward, all remote, and accesible.

Cons

It was mundane at times and did not feel like I was changing that much, little purpose.
