Pros

When I joined, our team had a great culture - healthy work life balance, work from home when needed, reasonable deadlines. My manager was wonderful, and I likely wouldn't have stayed at the company long if I had a worse one. Solid compensation compared to many software jobs out there.

Cons

Upper level leadership is setting unrealistic expectations and forcing people back (or, often, for the first time) into offices filled with distractions and taking away much flexibility.

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.
