Pros

Depends on the team you are on. My manager was amazing and was flexible when I need to work from home. Most people are great to work with.

Cons

Layoffs is an annual event here. Sometimes it happens twice a year which leads to super low morale. Most people in IT on an H-1b visa which means everyone is overworked, no one speaks up to management for bad decisions and English is the second language spoken here. Favoritism is very apparent where people are hired because their spouses work here instead of having the right skills. If you know the right people you can advance, otherwise there is no chance for advancement. Learning new technology? Unless you are on the right team, there is no chance they will agree to it. Some managers and directors have bankers’ hours while they expect their teams to do whatever is necessary to get things done.

Pros

People are nice. You can get promoted very quickly due to the high attrition and lack of available talent nearby. Not sure if that is a nice thing. Basically incompetent people get promoted to fill a void.

Cons

Top heavy management who scramble at the beck and call of a CEO who has no sense of direction. Even the C-levels have difficulty sticking around. I have seen the COO acting both as COO, CFO and CPO. You know something is not right when they leverage one man to do the jobs of three. Instead of investing in talent and developing great products, they invest in trying to make mediocre products look world class (not everything is "leading" and "state of the art"!) They have no clue how to grow. IMO, they have reached a plateau after growing very rapidly in the start. Hardly any new innovation. Unfortunately this takes a toll on hourly or full time employees as the company goes through an annual lay-off (almost like a ritual). Product managers have no real sense of product management. Then again, it is hard to recruit talent if compensation is so abysmal. They have come with a fancy slogan of INSPIRE standing for (Integrity, Nimble...). They fail on all of them. In two years of going public they got into trouble with the SEC and faced lawsuits (not sure if it was intentional or purely incompetence). I can go on and on. There are two many. It is hard to believe they have survived for so long. I guess they must be riding the momentum of early growth or doing something right.
