Pros

If you make the right friends, there is tons of room to move up. Loads of PTO (5 weeks)

Cons

After working at this company for 3 1/2 years with consistent high performance reviews I was fired after returning from vacation with NO information as to what went wrong. Along with this 3 other employees with similar long term history, and top performers were fired with no real reason. I also find it suspicious that the people fired were some of the highest earners. The company promises that you will know if things aren't going well. This is NOT the case. This company has consistently fired large numbers of people with little notice, I guess it was just my turn. Apart from this, they are absolutely terrible with product releases. You can point out serious security bugs, before launch that are not fixed. This company is also terrible for promoting people who are friends rather than people who are experienced. Overall, this company promises a lot, but does not deliver. Keep clear! Actual quote from upper management. This came up when a new hire had his schedule changed by 2 hours and completely different days. This employee could not keep this schedule due to family obligations: "They are employees and we are management. They have to do whatever we say if they want to work here."

Pros

Good upper management that cares about employees, great PTO/refresh package for salaried employees. Interesting work and good work/life balance.

Cons

A few characters here, but same with anywhere you go. Used to be really good about tech debt, seems like the business is starting to care less about fixing tech debt except for a few engineering depts. Some teams need more people to match the workload.

Pros

Pretty good money Some people work four days a week (10 hour days) Lots of free food Very easy to get help from co-workers on technical problems

Cons

They fire a lot of people. I watched entire teams get fired for mysterious reasons. I've never seen so much "churn" at any company I've worked at, and I've worked for much bigger companies.
