Pros

Amazing people - smart, driven, collaborative. I have been able to grow exponentially in my time here working on cool and challenging projects.

Cons

Unless you are a superstar it’s going to be hard to move up in the organization. Compensation is also not competitive, especially for employees with longer tenure. Company appears to be on the cusp of becoming a big company so we have a lot of messy startup type processes and also a lot of overly engineered bureaucratic processes. Lots of new program management types who appear the be putting processes in place that serve no real benefit to the business

Pros

Great benefits, competitive pay, mostly nice people. There are many strong leaders there but you have to weed through to find them.

Cons

Lip service is the best way to describe the culture. All talk, no meaningful action. I compare it to people who post their glamorous lives on social media but it's all a front.
