Pros

Some great teammates, some of whom I have become friends with.

Cons

Manager lied about promotion. These are bullies. HR does not and did not care. the place is fake. And unkind. They play favoritism towards certain races of people who also came from private high schools. It's just a game of helping the rich get richer. Go eff yourself

Great company to work for but some managers aren't entirely ethical...

Pros

This is a startup with amazing investors just pouring money into it, so the pay is great!

Cons

Some of the practices of the managers are unethical. I was asked to lie to clients (users of the platform) several, several times. I also questioned one of the manager's experience since it seemed like, as someone working under him, I had more experience than he did. Since it's a startup, you're expected to always be on call and have no life. That's not much of a con though if you live and breathe your work. Nirav Tolia is a bit sociopathic. I think everyone knows this but no one really talks about it.
