Pros

Accommodating work environment. Perks do not make up for bad management team.

Cons

Sub-par management team, especially on the engineering side. Seems that they hire management team that are less qualified than the underlings.

Pros

Great benefits, unlimited sick days, flexible working schedule. Generally, management is friendly and available if you have any issues. Its also nice to be a part of a well known company.

Cons

The culture is totally contrived, so there isn't a ton of room for diversity. Little to no racial diversity (as with most tech companies) and this doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon. Management is overly concerned with work "culture" and ends up hiring people who can't do the work just because they're a good cultural fit. Would be great to spend less time talking about composting (if you get what I mean) and more time looking at ways to further develop certain orgs so that employees can have more fulfilling jobs. Often it feels like you're on a hamster wheel, with little room to experiment.

Pros

Great benefits and flexibility to work from home for some teams.

Cons

Very unqualified managers, high school "clicky" environment, company cares about its values more than employees, stale environment, no career progression conversations, no annual reviews...overall WORST career experience of my life. I was so miserable that I left without securing another job first. After all the recent layoffs, morale is very low and it is getting worse by the day.
