Pros

Goldfish. Intelligent people. (at the time) unlimited overtime (Depending on your manager) less oversight which means more room for trial and error The feeling of working for something bigger.

Cons

Health insurance is awful. They stopped remote work (which is completely unnecessary for 80% of the jobs) No real perks. The snacks are junk food and bananas. Microsoft teams. They don't have a centralized all community channel. Any updates or news maybe comes from your manager if they remember, or this app called Voyager that is saturated with unrelated work stories. It is all promotional pictures of what the executives are doing to help "promote" what blue is doing. aka propaganda. You never know what is going wrong or down. The system's page is rarely updated and never accurate. Most of the time you are just out of work for the day especially when they have network outages. People literally come into work and don't have access to the internet so everyone is unable to do things. They say it is a startup but it has been 20 years, lol all of it is just mismanaged. If you want to upgrade your computer you have to wait 6 years. Most computers people work on are 2011-2013 machines. You don't get PTO unless you accumulate it. You can go into "debt" with it though.
