Pros

Innovation and new Ideas are abundant. Expanding into new markets at a fast pace. They are one of the top cloud network providers in the industry.

Cons

Poor leadership from middle management, no consistency between them. Work schedules are not good for families. They knee jerk react when something goes wrong in any location and implement restrictions on employee's instead of being proactive from the management and communicate to employee's. They preach taking ownership in the work place, but have it set as an impossible place for an employee to share ideas. No accountability and consistency from inexperienced leadership. Work conditions do as your told and don't make waves.

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.
