Pros

Global Impact, Exposed to high-profile assignments early. Hands on experience to meaningful projects that are covered in the news. Talented peers by design of rigorous hiring process.

Cons

Base Pay far below tech benchmarks. Return to office only applies to specific colleagues. You report in office 5 days but your remote manager (and their manager) haven't seen the office in years.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
