Pros

Benefits were great. Culture was great for awhile. Everyone seems happy. There's a lot of positive vibes. This declined over time.

Cons

Unless you have a certain personality, you're never going to fit in to management. I never really fit in. I never said the right things or hit it off with the right people.

Poor tools, mid-level leadership hold a great place to work back

Senior site reliability engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation. Good benefits. Executive leadership appears to be trying to improve the company. Plenty of great things to do if you can budget your time well enough to do it.

Cons

Senior Engineers are not held to a consistent standard for both hiring and promotions. The engineering tools' systems are a nightmare. If it wasn't built in house, it will not be used. No opportunity for open source solutions Mid-managers are unwilling to fix structural problems. Senior Managers are promoted on their ability to ignore structural problems. Feedback to any leadership is met with hostility and retaliations. Lack of commitment to invest in automation.

Don't be blinded by the logo - Terrible Place to Work

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food and more t-shirts than any person would ever want. In exchange, you must give up your life, your family and personal well-being. PR and HR do a terrific job forcing employees to write positive reviews and augment the CEO's support rate to push down and hide the truthful not so lovely ones.

Cons

Un-achievable revenue expectations to please the stock exchange. These are only reachable through questionable deal practices and stabbing colleagues from other offices in the back.
