Pros

They've definitely done well from a product perspective in pushing out quality technology. The trajectory is up and to the right, but it comes at a cost.

Cons

For a majority of the company, the work/work (no life) balance places a huge burden and creates resentment. While not explicitly required, by default, those with families that want to succeed have to (HAVE TO) sacrifice family time in order to keep up. The pace of play continues to stretch employees thin, and unless you're single and in your twenties and can solely focus on your career, you're going to inevitably sacrifice home for career.

Loved the work that I've been doing with no fake urgency. Good perks if you remain in the company for long period of time.

Stocks are in bad shape right now.
