Pros

The office is beautiful and has lots of nooks to sneak off into. Employees are expected to work together and figure things out. Monthly socials, outings, and other fun events help keep the place social. Despite the pressure, the management structure is great and pretty competent. There are a lot of great things happening and we get lots of cool projects.

Cons

There's a lot of pressure to get work done. While we're all theoretically trying to make a great product with our great ideas, managers ideas are MUCH more important. It feels like we're doing a lot of work just to hone in on what the higher ups envision.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
