Pros

There are some talented people. But they are not utilized to their potential.

Cons

Management, whether people management or business management - my experience really behind industry. No meaningful people development, no sharp business management, appalling management of people with threads. In practice far from their leadership principles. Even at this time when tech is heat hard by job cuts people leave the company. Leadership is staying away from issues blocking business. There are so many talented people hired, but the culture how to use it is not there. Things are going downhill.

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.
