Don't even think about it. Not worth it.

Pros

The people (some of them) make going to work tolerable. You can make the best of what you got with very little resources. You learn how to have thick skin in this place.

Cons

I don't know if there is enough space, but how convenient that they have a "featured" review from October at the top. Listen, just honestly don't do it to yourself. I joined when it was "Euro-Pro" and interrogating my recruiter based on the horrible Glass Door reviews. She done such a good job and convinced me so much, I actually joined. 6 months later, the one who recruited me - left! What does that say? This place is laughable at the very least. Processes are broken, everyone runs around doing either redundant work, or solving fire drills. This place loves meetings, you will minimally sit in 4 meetings a day (I used to love when I had less than five). You are CC'd for literally everything and strategy changes about 60 times before MP. They keep saying SN is going through "growing pains" and it's still a "start-up" feel but seriously at 1.5$ Bill/year, you'd think it would be a little more relieving than what a typical day to day looks like now. People say the pay is good but when you're working 60 hours a week minimum - is it worth it? I have literally seen people go to hospitals because of the amount of stress and anxiety here. Leadership is an absolute joke, egos are so big but no real work is being done! Honestly really, save yourself, and don't join. Until this company realizes that it's starts from the top, it's not going to change. There is some great talent here but a lot of cooks fighting for that one second of limelight. There are too many "breakthroughs" and "hacks" going around - and yet you still have to do your day job. The company is not growing as much as they used to.

Pros

Minimal items for this section. Pay is at the industry average or above, benefits, the healthcare plan they have partnered with is good, they are relaxed when it comes to restrictions such as food allowances while travelling. The bonus set-up is good. Many employees are good people and great to work with. The only reason Culture and values gets a 2 Star is for some of the people, the overall company culture and values is a nightmare. If the structural issues, and issues with some of the management could be fixed, the company would be more suitable for long term employment vs. the massive exodus of employees that they are seeing in tandem with their inability to hire QUALITY employees.

Cons

Where to begin. First and foremost, there is no formal training or onboarding for this company that is of actual use. Yes you have the boiler plate... this is how to access your pay stub sites, etc. but those are all based on a template from the payroll company. You are dropped into your position in trial by fire, and every person is looking out only for themselves, so you will get help and advice from others only when it is convenient. The program that they just implemented is basically an indoctrination into the corporate brand of Kool-aid, that gives you a bunch of buzz words, but doesn't assist you in performing your position, or quickly becoming an effective member of the organization. Secondly, there isn't any uniform structure or process, if anyone tells you otherwise, they are fooling themselves. Many "standard processes" have 3 different versions of what the "process" is. You can ask 3 different people all in the related functions, and they will give you 3 different answers or forms that are the "correct and latest", and then submit that for approval or review and get blasted because actually you were supposed to use a 4th method that was never announced to anyone doing the ground work. Which leads into the 3rd problem, communication. Many times there are high level conversations that happen, make decisions, create policies, procedures, etc. but these discussions many times do not include the respective parties that will be affected. Even in instances where they do, the information/decision/procedure is never reported out to the people affected or doing the work. Often you will find out you were supposed to do something a new way when you get scolded for doing it wrong. The fourth major issue is just information management and tracking in general. The entire business and operations is run via e-mail, what few databases that exist don't work, or aren't set-up for the purpose they are being used for, it's a nightmare and a law suit waiting to happen. The list can keep going, and without fixing the root causes, a two years or less departure time from this company is almost inevitable.
