Pros

The paychecks don't bounce and some of the people are nice.

Cons

Ever since the move to the product model, micromanagement is the name of the game. You will have multiple bosses. JIRA tickets and status reports are far more important than doing work. You will spend the majority of your day in meetings. You will be asked for updates several times per day even though all status is already captured in stand-ups and tickets. Management will be in working group chats with you and will pick apart your design decisions.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
