Pros

- Pay top of market - Catered lunches

Cons

- Culture deck not true in all departments, department heads/middle management are not consistent - Intense fear-driven culture, must be political to find success/happiness, cannot trust your colleagues/managers - Limited growth within your role and within the organization - They have created robotic positions so you are simply a part of an assembly line

Pros

None, there were no pros to working here except the free coffee.

Cons

Don't drink the koolaid. Don't be serious because they hate that. If you try to be professional it has consistencies. They are brainwashed and expect you do be the same the "no attendance" policy mean that if you miss 1 day they can let you go for it. Don't be fooled.

Pros

Forward thinking office culture, catered lunches and snacks, nice vacation/maternity/paternity leave policies. You get to work on a product that everyone consumes and is passionate about. Peers are smart and talented (for the most part). People are interested in your job and want to talk about it.

Cons

Culture of fear, office politics and weak leadership make for a stressful experience. Turnover is high, so expect to say goodbye to colleagues frequently. Firings (in my experience) have been trivial and never a true reflection of overall performance- after all, we work everyday with these people. Brain drain since nobody stays longer than a couple years. I have witnessed multiple people leave (without being fired) for better opportunities. In my opinion, with all the optimization and automation, the department will need to be scaled down in the upcoming future. Not the place if you want job security. Very little to zero potential to grow or advance your role.
