Great products, little room for advancement

Pros

Overall good company culture, beautiful products.

Cons

They tend to hire people with similar backgrounds/educational pedigree, especially in the design department. Not much room for career advancement unless you are a part of that in-group.

Pros

All of this is from my personal experiences and are my personal opinions. I feel that there is blatant favoritism. There are different rules for every person. I felt that certain people had opportunities for career growth because of that favoritism. There was no career advancement. The environment was the definition of toxic. So many people have left. They went through 2 mass layoffs during my time there. Stay away.

Cons

Favoritism Toxic work environment There is no middle management
