Pros

Fast paced environment. Writing based philosophy engrained in almost all processes helps you think and take actions critically. Scale and brand value indeed.

Cons

Customer obsession trumps everything - even employee well being. Saturation in managerial processes leading to inefficiency and opacity. Data driven philosophy being easily misused by employees.

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.
