Pros

- Flexibility of working hours - Huge company: many different fields, projects, work areas

Cons

- Very 'political' work environment; pretty much the 'survival of the fittest' - Constant gaslighting from the management as if everything is perfect; although pretty much everything works with band-aid solutions - Inefficient at best; plain mundane at worst work most of the time - Poor rewarding

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.
