Pros

Days go by fast because you’ll always be busy. Surrounded by smart people, you’ll definitely learn here. Collaborative rather than cutthroat. Very good at allowing people to move across functions and try new things, which is great if you’re looking to change careers or get more breadth. Average time in each role anywhere from 2-4 years.

Cons

Senior management are not consistent - L8+ can be very disconnected in some parts of the business but caring and supportive in others. Results in progression being easier / harder depending on your team rather than your accomplishments. Promotion process is opaque and no opportunity to even see your own promo case. Opportunities narrow drastically above L6, so progression here hits a bottleneck.

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.
