Pros

- Flexible Work Schedule/Hybrid - Most people observe the practice of having less meetings on Friday so you can focus on finishing your own work - Unlimited DTO for exempt employees - Coworkers are generally respectful of each other

Cons

- Compensation is low for the valley in many departments (below director positions) - Top heavy organization (a ton of directors, senior directors, VPs, etc.) - Expect to support multiple time zones and have meetings at all times of the day (early mornings and late at nights) - No growth opportunities or internal promotions - Nepotism, favoritism, and clique culture - No backfill for any attrition, leftover employees will be forced to absorb additional responsibility - Volatile industry - Company preaches transparency but does not practice that - there have been awkward interactions in all hands meetings with HR when asked tough questions
