Pros

Nothing that I can think of

Cons

Got PIPED today.I am just 8 months old to company. I am so disappointed and questioning my self if I am really bad? I know I am not and have done nice job. The reason in the PIP documents given are so lame, even the person who is not doing anything couldnt be fired based on those examples. Edit- I was never given any dev plan which people talk on blind. When I asked my manager where is dev plan before PIP? I was told by HR there is no dev plan. this is your dev plan. I am not feeling like working anymore anywhere.

The food, people, and location where I interned were amazing.

Cons

Work seemed to stall many times, with much of my progress not being able to advance past certain points due to waiting on higher ups.

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.
