Pros

Smart people, best of the best. Leadership Principles can be very inspiring when everyone executes them accordingly.

Cons

Worst management I've ever seen. Very frupid organizations within company (not all though). Leveling of employees is broken. Worst vacation/holiday package. Pay attention to whether you're an hourly or salary employee. High turnover. They like to constantly build new tools but never document, fix, or maintain them. Retaining valuable employees seems to be non-existent but the pain can be felt on remaining team members. Very metrics based company even when the numbers lie or don't tell the whole story.

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.
