Pros

Benefits. Culture, Learning, Opportunity is plentiful if you have what it takes. Others in leadership roles working together to develop and hire the best. As in any ORG, everyone has a specific skill-set. Many in the same roles rely on one another to hold the team to the expected standard. If you are petty, gossip or complain you should work elsewhere. In working in several buildings, there is always plenty to improve upon is often welcomed by Sr. Leadership to invoke change. HR purposely assigns people of different personalities in roles to keep things in check. This upsets those who like to create "clickish" groups but prevents issues. Promotions and Inclines are given to those of us who have performed and able to raise the bar. Buildings are secure and for the most part clean. I started on the floor as a part time employee and quickly have risen to leadership based on my hard work. 2 years later in my role I am respected by my peers and Sr leadership.

Cons

Constant change due to explosive growth, not a bad thing but you must be prepared to accept the challenges presented. Parking at many buildings are a premium. Be prepared to walk to your assignment. If you expect to just come in do nothing just to collect your earnings this is not the place. Jealousy by those who cannot meet the highest standards and try to inject discord or fabricate and gossip. Thankfully, in my region It is quickly quashed and uprooted.

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.
