Pros
- Meritocracy: quarterly reviews of employees for additional bonuses, stocks, salary increase, or promotion - Free breakfast, lunch, dinner - Free wellness programs (haircuts, 15 minute massages, 15 minute reflexology, 45 minute acupuncture) - Free gym membership - Free swag (for a game launch or a company's success) - Great for your resume - Great for those who are already influential at the company - Great for those who want a "start-up" environment at an established company - Company is mentioned on the news everyday (literally) - Some of your work will affect millions of people everyday - Metrics-Driven: Prove that you work drives the product - Dogs are welcome to the office and therapeutic
Cons
- Unsustainable work-life balance (generally 60-80 hours depending on the team and some weekends and holidays required) - Unpredictable deadlines and strategies - Low performers will be pushed out of the company - Quarterly reviews can be very political (don't ever get any of your managers on your bad side and don't let your own coworkers paint a bad picture of you) - Some managers have made unethical and immoral decisions in the expense of the employees
