Pros

- Good product - Friendly colleagues - Everyone is hardworking and ambitious towards the same goals

Cons

- Managers are more interested in asserting dominance than in nurturing talent - Zero guidance, expect vague directions and bewildering expectations that change by the hour - Work-life balance is a joke, as well as 'unlimited PTO' - you will sacrifice evenings, weekends, and even vacations - No opportunity for career growth, the only growth you'll experience is in your resentment and frustration - Low salary and no benefits

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
