Fun environment, but difficult to get things done.

Pros

Perks are amazing - free food, booze, concerts. Most of the people are nice and fun. Wonderful product.

Cons

It's so hard getting things done here. All teams, whether it's business, product, or tech, are extremely silo-ed. There's an effort to work cross-functionally, but teams just run with their projects without consulting any stakeholders. We always scramble after something goes wrong to fix it. The key is to work on a team/or for a manager with clout. People either work really hard or they're dead weights who just BS through everything.

Pros

A great company, if you're in the right position Tons of benefits Lots of interesting colleagues , people are really proud of working here Decent work/life balance

Cons

A lot of people playing favourites, you better make sure you end up in the right position or be prepared to have almost zero influence Inexperienced and young managers Seeing/experiencing glass ceilings and politics are a part of the daily routine
