Pros

Free food, location next to bike trail, some treadmill desks.

Cons

Tons of carbs doesn't make up for a toxic culture. You're either part of the "in" crowd or you're invisible. Entrenched nepotism; most interns are kids of management. Top talent resigning every week. Such a bro culture that one person actually said to me "of course we're bro culture but that's OK because I'm a bro". Absolutely no product direction since the acquisition. Bullying isn't simply accepted, it is rewarded. Most of us have learned to keep our mouths shut because our ideas will not be listened to and neither will our complaints. Very loud office environment; most of us wear headphones 8 hours a day. I agree with others in saying the positive reviews here are written by HR. Tried bringing concerns to management multiple times; never a productive response...they don't want to hear anything that doesn't match their narrative that this place is amazing. The euphemism for training is “retooling existing resources”. Come here if you enjoy being a fungible number. On the technical side: I've never seen such an extreme case of Not Invented Here syndrome. Plus, we have a mandatory annual kickoff party. To register for the party you have to indicate which group you are in. The choices are “us sales, us marketing, uk sales, uk marketing, other”. Yes, all of engineering is “other”. Everyone is talking about this in the halls but management doesn’t care. Product quality is diving because too much knowledge has walked out the door…distributed systems are hard…especially if there is no one left who remembers why systems work the way they do. Absolutely nothing being done to stem the exodus.

Pros

* They do cater food (once for breakfast and once for lunch) weekly. * Company kickoff is fun, they book out a hotel for everyone. * The company does spend money on training and conferences, so lots of personal growth room here. * You can go from newbie to expert in just a couple of years, if not less.

Cons

* It's very common that very important decisions do not get discussed with the teams, until it's too late to change anything. * In the engineering group, there was one individual who designed the entire system, and while that's not intrinsically a problem... You were often met with opposition if you questioned things, and that is a problem. * The company has a very corporate feel. They market themselves as a great place to work, but in reality you feel like nothing more than a very little cog in the system. * Decisions would be made to develop using XX, and then a few weeks or months later we'd switch to YY because it's better. Then we'd switch back to XX and point fingers at anyone who liked YY. * Work life balance is non-existent. They asked employees to justify their weekend and holiday (Thanksgiving) plans in order to make a deadline that most people objected in the first place.
