Pros

Good salary, some people are brilliant (but they leave the company every day!), good snacks

Cons

They don't care about employees at all, just about money. No new successful products, no new ideas, no creativity. You must be happy about work here, and you must not tell about problems. If you speak about company or product problems they call you a toxic person . They fired the smartest and most vivid people because those people were not ready to agree with everything managers told. They are firing people who created the most valuable products, and call them unprofessional and "under expectations" but can't offer new products and ideas without them. They are just using old products and adding scum-subscriptions etc. Line managers and top managers are replaced every year. It is not enough just be a good specialist to build a career here, you need to have a good skill in corporate games. Nobody can trust nobody... I have a big experience but this is the most stressful workplace I've ever seen!!!

Pros

- Manager was so helpful and sweet, made sure the work I was doing was on my skill level and also something that I enjoyed - Team was so welcoming and friendly - Loved interacting with other interns - Helped me build up my confidence and skills - Paid internship!!!! Need I say more, felt like they really valued me and my time

Cons

Nothing I can think of. I'm super grateful for the opportunity they gave me, especially since I didn't feel like I was "good enough" to get paid for what I did if that makes sense

Pros

- Most of the people I worked directly with were smart and friendly. - Free snacks. - They try to use the latest tools However, I would not recommend it even to my worst enemies.

Cons

The higher management treated the rest of employees as herd of cattle. There is no transparency at all, so the work environment is bit creepy where you never feel safe and settled in. The hiring managers painted the picture that the company is doing great and wanted to expand because they have a lot features and ideas to build. However, after joining and leaving my other full time job, the higher management decided reduce expenses by cutting on resources. So I was laid off along with about 30 others. Even the lay off process was unprofessional and disrespectful, and shows that they only care about much they can keep in there pocket. Everyone was called into one meeting and given a 5 minute speech informing us that it would be our last day of employment. Using cutting technologies was great. However, there was disconnect on the actual requirements and some of the developers worked as solo cowboy coders, so it was hard to make code reusability.
