Pros

Great technology to work on and good work life balance as well. Amazing group of really smart and friendly engineers.

Cons

Unnecessary layer of directors. Engineers have great ideas which just fades away because no one listens to them. A cycle of changing upper management, hiring and firing CEOs and VPs every two years. Makes the company unstable.

Pros

Decent pay Cool tech when it works.

Cons

Long hours. There is 168 hours in your week and they think they own them all. Do not ask if you can work overtime. They tell. Very high turnover especially management positions which makes everyone uneasy. Can be fired at any minute. Firings happen constantly. Toxic environment. HR is not in employees corner. Upper management makes quick and irrational decisions.

Shame to waste product potential with lack of direction & leadership

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Phenomenal product with fantastic potential Convenient location, free parking Free soda and great coffee Not super stressful, allows for flex work schedule Decent comp for not having to drive into a City job Financially stable company? Decent working environment

Cons

Horrible lack of commitment and direction; leadership says one thing, does another... if anything at all. Makes you feel like you’re spinning wheels, wasting time, lost. Uninspiring leadership: don’t look here if you want career/professional development Hypocritical spending habits... wasting so much money on scrapped ideas, then riding you about spending on low-cost items that are actually necessary. Executive team a bunch “yes men” to CEO instead of having fortitude to stand up for their skills, even if it is inconsistent with CEO’s thinking...so scared to upset the billionaire. How do you layoff 150 people, then let your special “brain trust” millennial team hire?
