Pros

Individuals are conscientious and humble. Incredible hype and brand. Not an evil company.

Cons

The execs and middle management is pretty rough. Outside of the Collisons (most Patrick) and our legal counsel, most execs are out of their depth compared to other corps on the se trajectory. Management sucks so hard. They're all about packaging to look good than doing good. The culture isn't bad, there is no culture. It's hard to get jazzed about moving money around. This place is more AMZN than FB/GOOG with lowwww margins. Acquiring is a race to the bottom, and until we find our version of a AWS cash cow, we're far from the hype.

Pros

Benefits, Salary, very nice & smart people

Cons

Culture of working all hours and weekends Pressure of completing project work on top of constantly overachieving your targets So many different technical issues and systems that you question yourself of your own capabilities-never met so many people with imposter syndrome! Lacking culture and fun, you always hear “We haven’t won yet” instead of celebrating achievements together

Pros

Great company reputation Really smart people Autonomy and freedom, no micromanagement Strong benefits and compensation

Cons

Massive growth spurt in hiring can mean a dilution of company culture Working in an international office outside of HQ in America can be a bit daunting, especially when some teams view HQ work to be more important than regional work
