Pros

- Great employee benefits: free food, good health insurance, paid time off for vacation and parental leave - Interesting projects with very competent team members - fun and inclusive culture

Cons

The company has gotten so big in recent years that bureaucracy can get in the way of progress. Many teams can be working on the same thing at once without much coordination or collaboration from upper management.
