Pros

- Not super micromanagey culture unless you get stuck with a micromangey manager - good pay + stocks - interesting work - easy to jump teams - nice managers for the most part and peers - i had good work life balance as long as u get ur work done u can choose ur hours

Cons

- a lot of approvals needed to get work completed. You need to make everyone happy in order to ship something and that takes alot of work and most of your day is in meetings or prepping for these meetings instead of just doing the work. - reorgs happen often - the vibes were not great in the creative function.
