Pros

Great opportunity to lead up into politics & run for office. To succeed, one would have to manipulate & maneuver across & over each other's body in the team or over cross functions. Similar to being successful in a political office, one has to integrate & follow blindly/obediently into the special boys&girls club, anyone who speaks up or acts contrary to the norm will not be tolerated & will be eradicated & exterminated. Great opportunity to mess up your professional career, contacts & personal life. Stay away from this organization by all means necessary!

Cons

If your life has no purpose then sell your souls to this organization as they sure will run you into the ground/central atrosphere with not even a faint whiff of gratitude/genuine appreciation of the time & energy one spends away from family & loved ones. Ultimately this is a internet company & it's workers are treated like machines/computers & are expected to move along the production line quietly with not even hint of objection. One more thing, when they are done with you even if you have not reached your full potential they'll kick you out even if you are the General Manager or non executive.

Pros

Good CEO and awesome products. They have very strong technical teams. Technically inclined filled with rock stars! People are willing to help when needed. Alot of self service help you can get.

Cons

Horrendous regional leadership. Political culture. Not professional moving forward with policies and strategies. HR was not professional enough to help with human resourced related issues. Very dissatisfied with their way of handling the issue. Did not know that their handling of issues meant relaying messages from one person to another and assume then jump to conclusions.
