Pros

It’s a great opportunity to learn fast and understand the platform. Travel cool places and connect with awesome creators!

Cons

This is not a place to grow! It’s a factory shop of tech workers. No one has personality and works crazy hours.

Pros

- Pay and bonus were really great

Cons

- Absolutely no work/life balance (calls all night, no breaks) - Every single person on my team was crying daily - Unless you are Chinese or speak Mandarin, there is minimal opportunity for growth - Monthly changing goals with leadership who have no idea how to meet those goals, and then blame their teams for not meeting goals

Pros

Good Pay. If you're fortunate to have a good manager (very rare) & are willing to work 70-80 hours a week then the bonuses are good and there is room to be promoted.

Cons

In my first month 3 of my immediate team members went on mental leave and never came back. If this wasn't a bad enough omen, in the year since I've left almost my entire team has left the company. Management is directionless, changing Main Business Objectives half way through the year, leading to reorganizing teams, eliminating jobs, and changing positions. Directors act like they are in Game of Thrones and try to steal each others projects and teams. This leads to team names being redundant and unclear. Middle managers fail at basic tasks like training, and meeting with their own direct reports. They also do not set goals, and then when you fail to meet whatever vision is hidden in their head they will throw you under the bus so that they don't look incompetent.
