Pros

Good pay, nice offices, good professional development opportunities

Cons

HR only gives a slap on the wrist to threatening behavior in the office. Leadership makes arbitrary decisions, breaks trust, and pushed AI way too hard and too fast too the point it started breaking products and hurting customer trust.

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.
