Pros

Good pay and there are some smart people to work with. The scale is fun as well.

Cons

Lots of nepotism. Don't know how some managers end up in this company. Basically the only skill they have is to threaten you with PIP which seems like something anyone can do, oh wait I know how (see point 1). How well you do is much more about how many useless buzzwords and sloganeering you say in a large audience as long as it makes your manager and his skip feel good, than actually delivering any true value. Management has no ability to think more than one level deep on how to deliver products and team success long term.

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.
