Pros

Smartest team I have worked with. Great products with constant enhancements and very customer focused. Work life balance is what you make of it.

Cons

Management is a black hole with almost zero communication to their teams. Managers appear to have limited management experience and they are just managers. Not leaders. Often referred to as player/coaches but they do very little customer facing work and I haven't seen any coaching.

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.
