Pros

- Learning opportunities are really unparalleled. There are so many different 'camps', classes, and informal learning opportunities at the company. If you have an interest in a topic, most likely someone else is equally interested in teaching you about it. - Many of the little things are taken care of for you: food, laundry, shuttle, gym, etc. It does add up, from both a money and time perspective. - Managers care! I've had better and worse managers, but one unifying theme is that they all have good intentions, which I can't say for every manager I've had in my short career.

Cons

- Salary growth can be somewhat linear...and the y-axis (what you start off at), has more weight than it should for a young company. - Easy for performance to all clump together at the above expectations rating, which really makes it difficult to stand out.

Pros

I get to work every day on interesting problems together with incredibly smart and committed coworkers. The internal tools we have in place to perform analysis are world class.

Cons

It's very hard to advance your career if you want to have work-life balance. The fast pace and the high demands foster burnout in a lot of employees.

Pros

- Food - Health care benefits - Fringe benefits - Nice campus - Corporate shuttles - State of the art tech stack - Extremely smart coworkers - Visionary and bold top management

Cons

Work/life balance can get hurt as a lot of folks at the office are single and do not understand the needs of having a family. The company is getting bigger. This means more room for backroom politics and aligning people without ruffling people's feathers. Very talented individual contributors (and/or good at politics) are being promoted. As a result, instead of having well rounded managers, you end up having either extremely career driven or super awkward managers. Some of those middle managers are very green, making it even more painful. Some women feel like they have to be extra tough at work because of the Leanin coolaid, making them very hard to work with.
