Pros

* Offsite/onsite work arrangements can be very flexible (depending on your specific team or organization) * Can work on some of the most recognizable brands and products in the world, with some of the very best professionals in the world. * The entire company lives and breathes its values (the Leadership Principles).

Cons

* Values (Leadership Principles) can be weaponized in some contexts and teams * In some teams there are high levels of competitiveness and/or stress * There are definitely "unregretted attrition targets" - if you're not at the midpoint of your role and level in your org for contributions (or better), you should be nervous. If you know you're at the bottom end for contributions and you've had some time in role and level, be very worried.

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.
