Pros

Leeway to learn and gain experience with diverse technology. Pay was above market. Work with fantastic people. Free subscription & good "product".

Cons

People are treated like toilet paper. It is not a "family", this is true, but it is not a "team", either. The group I worked in processed hires & fires access rights: I have never seen so many people fired, without warning, while they were ON vacation - leaving our group to receive and deal with calls from confused people (some of them Directors of hubs), who returned ready for work to no access and no information on what was happening. Lousy communication between groups. Excessively High turnover - instead of leveraging employee knowledge & experience - people are overworked, used up, & thrown out like trash - the alumni group should read "NETFLIX PTSD Group". 80 hr work week *minimum*. No work-life balance. I had 4 managers in 1year of employment & the entire team I was on was replaced during that time and (you guessed it) one of the most awesome employees was fired while he was *ON* vacation: *THAT* was extremely awkward, as he was stellar...it was just a regime change.

Pros

Fat paycheck that is above the industry norm. It is all cash no stock grants, so they give you freedom to spend/invest the money as you want. If all you care about is the money this is the perfect place for you to work.

Cons

Very political environment. Management is clueless and is more interested in promoting themselves to upper mangement. Suck up and kick down culture. No collaboration between teams, they are out to get each other and throw you under the bus. Constant fear pervades within Individual contributor roles as they are not sure if they will be around next week. Company HR brags about how they are not shy about letting people go.

Pros

The insurance is good and you get it quickly after starting. There are some good people that you meet here, however they are usually fired within a matter of months. It is a challenging environment to work in.

Cons

The hours are very poor. There is no chance for promotion unless you are part of the current in crowd. The culture that is created is one that promotes arrogance, aggressive behavior and dishonesty. The general feeling is of fear and anxiety amongst the employees. You do not receive a performance review until you have upset management. You are expected to perform at such a level of intensity that it creates extremely high tension; associates tremble with fear. You are flat out told that you are expendable, and no matter how hard you try or what you accomplish, you will likely end up being walked out the door once they find someone who is not at the verge of a breakdown to replace you.
