Pros

If you get on a good team it's great, most teams don't have a good team working atmosphere

Cons

Managers are told to PIP people even if they have a team that's doing well so they can show improvement so THE MANAGERS can get promoted. even if you're a good worker you aren't safe from being pushed out. You can have multiple manager changes within 1 year. I was there for 2 years and had 4 different managers. Almost impossible to do any promotional docs when you're constantly having to get to know a new manager and have them understand what you're working on and where you see your career going. Sometimes you get a MIT (manager in training) who's not even able to help you with your promotions, so you just get paused and stuck in a position

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.
