Pros

Free food and insurance benefits are great. The people you work with are honest and caring, and treat you like a human. There are a lot of events, raffles, and perks that happen frequently.

Cons

The actual work is a nightmare. They have a terrible, almost crooked billing practice that borders on theft. I felt that I was exploiting people. I did not enjoy the work I had to endure, which was mostly hostile people that were screwed over. Nepotism, and a lot of it. People who get promoted are people who go to all the events and devote their lives to the company. I did not see a real work/life balance nor any growth unless I sucked up to the people above everyday. Also, Customer Care is treated like crap from engineers. They do not even look at your nor acknowledge your existence, even though it Customer Care that helps them keep their job. Finally, the pay and any raises to it, is entirely dependent upon the metrics of your work, which is utter non-sense.

Pros

Tons of perks and amazing benefits! Relaxed and quiet atmosphere. HR and the Culture team are truly very great individuals, they put a lot of effort into creating a healthy and happy work place. The office has fun and creative meeting rooms. Free snacks and catered lunches every single day is pretty great. Flexible hours are great.

Cons

Not a lot of natural lighting. Most developers like the shades drawn on the windows to prevent screen glare. Even though culture team works hard to create a fun atmosphere there isn't a lot of participation or enthusiasm from the ranks. Open office environment is good for communication but terrible for privacy. There are only a few spaces to go to work away from your desk but they are hardly ever used. Meeting rooms seem to always be booked so scheduling meetings can be difficult at times. Some departments tend to be a little clique-ish.
