Pros

- Wonderful, ambitious-but-not-cutthroat coworkers - Fantastic food options - Great amenities + snacks - Famous product that the everyone under the age of 30 is familiar with; feel like you're changing the world and entertainment by working there - Great facilities and overall super cool work environment

Cons

- Crazy hours / days / nights / weekends (unique to Content team); that specific department really feels like it's still a start-up - Mild culture of workaholism - Given the impression that your professional opinion and advice matters in terms of building and changing the product but still very much a top-down structure with regards to creative and business-related decisions - Big lack of diversity in management (mostly straight white dudes) - Sometimes feel like you're not super highly-valued even though you're given the impression that your work is super important to the company with regards to revenue and profits - Arbitrary pay based on previous experience but not congruous with actual work done (i.e. there were people getting paid $20/hr, $24/hr, and $30/hr to do the exact same things)

Pros

the pay and benefits. some of the fine folks that worked there

Cons

everything else - incompetent and toxic manager that left the team and still managed temporarily, lack of support from upper management and team members, sink or swim mentality, junior level people making senior level decisions, mostly poor work/life balance, ridiculously over engineered automation and tools, disgusting lack of empathy from teammates

Pros

- Perks & Benefits - Nice Office Space - Free Food & Stocked Break Areas - Nice Parties

Cons

- No Room for growth unless you were are apart of the click - Management hires friends from previous jobs - Especially Facebook friends - No regard for the work and initiatives placed for the organization - Management has no clue how to lead - Your ideas are overlooked - Racist Leadership - If you're not White or Asian or Male - No need to apply - CEO cares more about adding to his Billions at the expensive of the employees and Shareholders. - Investing in this company is like burning cash - Layoff's and Position Elimination was done abrutly and rudely. An Email was sent for a meeting to bring your personal belongings. 1 Hour Later lives and families changed with no remorse while Evan allocated 638 million in Bonus money to himself.
