Pros

the pay was pretty good

Cons

they flaunt a "day 1" culture that was gone years ago. It's the typical bureaucracy and kool aid drinking of any massive company now. i was laid off with stellar performance reviews for years in a row. there are engineers that i know kept their jobs and have had multiple disciplinary measures for underperforming. some have stayed who's jobs i did for them.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
