Pros

The environment is very casual with t-shirts, shorts, and "flip-flops" being very common. Everyone there is highly knowledgeable with different strengths. Very collaborative. Good benefits (not the best I've had). Free snacks and drinks for employees with Friday afternoons usually catered. No micro management.

Cons

Customers can be very demanding and stress levels can rise quickly. Training is also not as available as it used to be and sometimes it feels like you learn how to "bandage" things. I think this to be a problem of the company's accelerated growth.

Pros

Great products and industry leadership; most employees are proud of the brand. Many talented people to work with; people are generally respectful of others Fast growing company offers relatively more advancement opportunities (depending on how well you can navigate through the chaos)

Cons

company going through growing pain; lot of internal system/process not in place, yet it's now a 10,000+ people company; Chaotic place to work at; employee morale very bad in certain groups; some talents may not get best utilized here if you are not in the right team. it's not a place for everyone.
