Pros

The leadership principles matter. You can have real business discussions centered around them, all leaders act on them, and senior leadership constantly reinforce them. These are a big plus for me because it helps connect generally typical office work to meaningful goals. There are tons of growth opportunities available so you can find work that is interesting and switch it up once you are ready for a new challenge

Cons

It’s really really big. As much as it tries to keep things nimble, there is only so fast an ocean-liner can turn. Most of the time it manages to be like a start up with an established company’s resources, but on occasion it can be time-consuming to get new things approved

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
