Pros

Generally pretty good pay and medical benefits. Brilliant people/ technical Offices are okay, but dated Onsite gym & medical clinic Fairly collaborative Systems and processes are current.

Cons

Leaders don't always live the values; Common to see bad leadership behaviors. 24/7 burnout culture - no work/life balance. Leaders are not visible, approachable, or well-respected. Many are known to chew people out in public and humiliate them. Unclear vision. Constant reviews: financial, operational, product... Short term management focus. Frequent RIFs. No one seems to be having fun. Ever. It's a pretty negative culture. Even toxic at times.

Pros

* Easy to transition between roles, between teams, between projects * Direct management puts trust and responsibility into team members, "we hire good people, we should trust them to make good decisions" * Perks * Chase an opportunity or look for career growth and everyone will help you get there

Cons

* A lot of growth has led to a big company struggling to hang onto it's 'startup' roots * A lot of the culture is geared towards a specific type of people and can feel alienating sometimes

Pros

Unparalleled culture. Envious autonomy and trust in employees. Excellent staff development opportunities and support. First class "purpose" for the business. Very strong and well communicated company vision and goals. Great perks.

Cons

There's a cacophony of strong, well considered opinions (technical and strategic). This can make it tricky to build momentum for a team. The pace of change in the market can lead to incredibly volatile short to mid-term work, even though the long term vision is strong. It will be almost permanently in transition from a nimble small-scale company (this is in it's DNA) to a large-scale software company.
