Pros

Opportunities to work on cutting edge tech. Great benefits. Solving interesting problems. Culture has vastly improved in the past year.

Cons

Depending on what team you work with, projects may not be so interesting. Only a set of teams work on newer things, while many work on older technology, although there are lots of improvements being made to change that.

Pros

Benefits were good. Limited health/dental/vision insurance options. Original (pre-IPO) employees are great to work with. Opportunities for career advancements and transitions exist but may require socializing at the office to know they exist.

Cons

Leadership aggressively hired and then aggressively laid off employees, blaming interest rates. Excessive amounts of reorganization. Processes that used to be quick and efficient eventually became bureaucratic.
