Pros

- Working with extremely smart and humble people - Solving challenging and creative problems - Having much autonomy to work on various projects, minimal micromanagement - The environment is meritocratic and entrepreneurial - Very competitive compensation and benefits - Relatively flat and approachable organizational structure - True global company (with 26 offices in 15 countries and counting), promoting inter-office communications, sharing ideas, learning from various cultures and perspectives, etc - Turnover was very low since I joined , which is great (I assume that some reviews refer to pre-2014 WQ, which is very different place to work now from what I can observe)

Cons

- Nothing major. A minor thing, but probably more emphasis could be put into providing healthy snacks, etc.
