Pros

As all of the other reviews have mentioned, great colleagues Fun work space Opportunity to get in on the "ground level" If you have a good idea you're encouraged to share Decent pay (for those at director/executive/manager level, at least) Company contributes enough toward benefits to completely cover a single person's insurance expense

Cons

Below market pay for entry-level positions (sure, they're entry level, but still) Long hours Office closed for a week in the summer & week between Christmas and New Year's - sounds great but you're forced to take this off and the days come out of your PTO (leaves you with 6 days) Lack of snacks/drinks/treats (yeah they have beer, water and apples but would be nice to have other items a la facebook, google, etc) High turn around Overall Disorganization (hopefully this will be fixed in the near future with new execs brought in)

Pros

At this point many of the pros have evaporated with the cataclysmic implosion of the IPO over the summer. With several changes in management, the only pro might be that with the new leadership, there may be an opportunity to salvage the company and make it a profitable stalwart in the industry.

Cons

There's absolutely no transparency and it's anyone's guess what SoftBank's true intentions if the company is able to become profitable. Morale is incredibly low, but posts on social media platforms show a host of people putting on a brave face. There's little opportunity for advancement for people of color and improving diversity is not a priority for leadership.
