Pros

Very nice office. Free lunch from Fooda everyday if you go in. very generous commuter benefit.

Cons

They do not know what they are doing and go through massive layoffs every 3-6 months. Anything in corporate is at risk - sales, marketing, product, finance, even HR people get laid off all the time. Just a non stop cycle of overhire, onboard, fire.
