Avoid, especially if you are a woman

Pros

Free food which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as fully stocked kitchens; gym, yoga, massages which you can get reimbursed for (not 100% due to taxes).

Cons

Sexism and inappropriate behavior of managers have created a toxic environment for women. Even when escalated to HR, nothing will change as HR only tries for the person who made the claim to go away. The advice from HR consisted of finding a new job. An outreach to the Women in Tech initiative for help was ignored as it appears this initiative is only about the photo ops. The further down you go the more toxic the work environment becomes. A lot of good people have left because lower and middle management consist of managers that should not be in management.

Pros

* Pay is good. * Food is decent. * You do not have to do much(if any) work. * With only mediocre people around you rising in ranks is easy(though requires lots of politics).

Cons

* Nothing to learn, except maybe politics. * Engineers around you are mostly mediocre(at best). * Technical management usually consists of people who are incompetent technically. * Management structure is very deep. Every tiny bit of functionality is factored out in a separate team, with it's own management structure. * Fix the culture. Technical culture is non-existent here. Your engineers should be smart and bold, not the reverse (which they are right now).

A game of favorites

Pros

Great pay, great benefits - Standard of tech unicorn companies

Cons

No room for growth. The goals for gaining a promotion are inconsistent and often given to the favorites of the group. If you are not ready to launch a full time political campaign to supplement all of your side projects for a promotion then don't expect one. I have had 9 managers in the few years I've been here. They change so often its hard to build on a plan for advancement. Director works remotely, never shares with team when they are in town. They openly tell peers they think each member on the team is "replaceable"
