Pros

great team members, equity is rewarded like candy, good company wide culture. The office is pretty cool.

Cons

Management on a couple teams is flawed. My manager played favorites for his friends and offered little to no guidance on how to improve at my role. There was supposed to be a mentorship program but that didn't go anywhere, and . Received little to no training on important job functions that led to frustration when I was constantly called out for not doing the function correctly, and was one of the biggest reasons I left.
