Pros

None. There are no pros.

Cons

Literally being harassed for going to the bathroom or getting a drink from the vending machine. Being the only non H1B visa employee on my team. If I wanted to eat away from my desk I was expected to take PTO. The microwave didn't even have all functioning buttons. Low pay compared to what I'm used to. You freaking had to pay for water. I swear the company is pretty much set up to act as an H1B smuggling ring to bring people in from outside the country.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on interesting, high-impact projects. - Flexible work environment that supports work/life balance. - Many talented and knowledgeable colleagues across the organization.

Cons

- Leadership dynamics can feel misaligned, particularly when less experienced teams are driving decisions that impact more tenured professionals. - Career growth feels unclear and, at times, unattainable without the "right" visibility or relationships. - Cross-functional friction is common, and navigating disagreement does not always feel supported or safe. - Compensation and advancement do not consistently reflect market expectations or individual contributions. - Organizational priorities can feel disconnected from the day-to-day experience of employees.
