Pros

The off-site events are pretty nice.

Cons

Toxic Certainty Syndrome is prevalent in many teams. You will be expected to either follow along, or be labeled "a poor cultural fit" As others have mentioned, there is a widespread (and actively protected) passive-aggressive culture, where direct communication is not valued, but rather, punished. You will only realize things are bad, after it's too late. Several "leaders" mis-represented roles, and will aggressively attempt to pressure you to conform to the role they want you to do. Many individuals backstab others, while lying (passive aggressively) to their face. Underperforming individuals are not let go, just simply reassigned, left to wreak havoc on others, without any consequences

Pros

full stack of chocolate bars and coffee available in cafeteria.

Cons

Middle management is just horrible. you will see typical startup environment. Highly skilled workers are reporting to dump managers so there is always dissatisfaction while doing work. if you are technically smart then look for something else but avoid this company. There is very high attrition rate.

Pros

The people are great and the snacks are sometimes good. The product is awesome. The CEO is the best part of this company which I can't say about many places I've worked for. He has heart and cares about his products.

Cons

Complete lack of communication in Marketing from Execs and VPs. There's not really a sense of 'team' from the top down. It's every man for himself. Curious to see how well a brand can succeed and evolve when the entire brand team was eliminated.
