Pros

Innovative company Good compensation and benefits Room for professional growth and advancement

Cons

- Priorities are constantly changing so that you don't know what you should be focusing on and you are not able to accomplish much because you get pulled from one project or priority to the next - Work is piled on you so that you learn to manage NOT doing things and ignoring requests just to keep you head above water - this is not something I felt good about in trying to do my job - Performance feedback and professional development advice was inconsistent from one of my superiors to the next - Their motto is "work hard, have fun, make history" - the fun part s definitely not there. As managers we were afraid to talk to eah other on the shop floor and be seen smiling or enjoying ourselves for fear that a senior manager would see us not being serious & professional enough. -Work/life balance - that is practically non-existent.

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.
