Pros

nice snack bar, whatever you like

Cons

I was fired and replaced by a buddy hire right before their IPO before they legally have to assign stock options to their staff. Nefarious management who knows no bounds. I got lucky however, because before me a group of 5 people were fired in their entirety, no questions asked. Be prepared for cutthroat workplace, or become friends with management.

Cons

- Turbulent stock makes predicting true compensation difficult - Team transfer process is difficult and choices are artificially constrained - Promotions have gotten much more difficult in the past 2 years - Upper management is full of bad ideas that must be prioritized over the good work that teams are already doing
