Pros

Great benefits, onsite gym, transportation options. Positive thinking of most everyone you work with. Great development opportunities, senior management is willing to dedicate time to develop their employees to be sure everyone has a good work life balance. Bonus and Stock option programs are great, and good ways to keep us motivated

Cons

Difficult to get promoted from a lower level position. Often job opportunities are not given to internal candidates, even though that is the "mantra", promote from within. Often, senior management focuses so much on development, that they lose focus on what's important, and it feels that some people are always doing development, and not real value adding work.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
