Pros

Catered lunch and dinner Gym Great co-workers Off-site events are fun CEO is a great, down to earth type of guy Transparency is good but needs to be better

Cons

Favouritism to technical teams Too many structural and organizational changes causing loss of culture and morale Recruiters promote company perks but work load is chaotic to even enjoy them; vacation, off-site events, hack week Inexperienced managers leading teams Catered food is great but menu is repetitive HR is catty; overheard them talking negatively about employees and teams from the public lobby Company policies are unclear Work/life balance is unmanageable due to 12-5 core hours A lot of turn over the last couple of years of top talent
