Pros

Opportunity to work on huge, complex programs and problem sets in a fast-paced environment. Great place to hone industry experience. Community engagement is top-notch. Colleagues across the company have an open door policy, allowing for informal mentoring and learning about other teams. Managers care about work-life balance.

Cons

Turn-over is very high. Benefits are far behind other tech companies. Pay structure equates to those with less experience earning more than seasoned professionals.
