Pros

Strong emphasis on innovation and creativity — employees are encouraged to challenge the status quo. Clear culture values (“freedom and responsibility”) that empower individual decision-making. Competitive compensation and benefits package, among the best in the industry. Talented colleagues — opportunity to learn from top professionals in tech, content, and design. Global impact — projects reach millions of users worldwide.

Cons

Extremely high performance bar — not everyone adapts well to the “keeper test” culture. Fast-paced and sometimes high-pressure environment, leading to potential burnout. Limited job security if performance expectations aren’t met. Work-life balance can be challenging in certain roles. Decision-making freedom can feel ambiguous without structured guidance.
