Pros

You get to work on latest technology. Lead architect is great, gives tangible advice. Flexible work schedule depending on the team you work for.

Cons

Basically a Java shop with its own problem like other Web companies that started around early 2000. Technical direction seems to change quite often, I think the company should stick to its gun and follow through in one direction instead of changing it often. Little stingy when it comes to compensation. Lot of attrition due to poor compensation package and lack of job growth mainly.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
