Pros

- Wonderful, ambitious-but-not-cutthroat coworkers - Fantastic food options - Great amenities + snacks - Famous product that the everyone under the age of 30 is familiar with; feel like you're changing the world and entertainment by working there - Great facilities and overall super cool work environment

Cons

- Crazy hours / days / nights / weekends (unique to Content team); that specific department really feels like it's still a start-up - Mild culture of workaholism - Given the impression that your professional opinion and advice matters in terms of building and changing the product but still very much a top-down structure with regards to creative and business-related decisions - Big lack of diversity in management (mostly straight white dudes) - Sometimes feel like you're not super highly-valued even though you're given the impression that your work is super important to the company with regards to revenue and profits - Arbitrary pay based on previous experience but not congruous with actual work done (i.e. there were people getting paid $20/hr, $24/hr, and $30/hr to do the exact same things)
