Pros

Very fast pace work. Some people are really talented Some teams and managers are really great and they value you

Cons

Too much power with so called "Managers" Biased stack ranking and brutal dismissal system. Totally in hands of Managers. HRBP is just a joke.

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.
