Pros

-Work life balance is fully encouraged and supported - Abundant opportunities for professional development - Free food, really delicious healthy choices - Awesome company events

Cons

- Favoritism with certain people in the company is seen constantly - it was disgusting to witness -Some people there are super nice and willing to help, but major "I'm better than you" air is definitely palpable with others

Pros

Worked at TA for 4+ years. It was a good ride. For 4 years I was always glad to head to the office in the morning (when that changed, I knew it was time to move on) Steve Kaufer was the best tech CEO I'v worked for. Didn't get caught up in the details of the technology, but he set challenging engineering goals and kept the company focused on results.

Cons

Engineering management was rarely available and not really supportive.

Pros

Great, collaborative engineering organization - full of individuals with deep knowledge of their field. You'll learn a ton about how to build software quickly at scale. By and large the work-life balance is appropriate although some teams death-march more than others.

Cons

Large, monolithic codebase that is painful to work with due to lack of investment in routine upkeep and automated testing Time-tracking oriented culture - your project time is tracked to the hour and reported upwards throughout management Although you'll be shipping code every week often you'll find yourself just moving buttons around on an existing page. A recent exodus of young engineers has left a huge gap in the culture
