Pros

- Stock grants are solid - Lots of internal transfer opportunities - You work with some really great people

Cons

- Toxic performance management culture/practices forced on managers from Directors and VPs - Zero compensation growth potential, minimal to no stock and below-inflation salary bumps. Comp levels are below all other FAANG orgs. - "Work Life Balance" is a dirty word, don't expect to have any personal time.

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.
