Pros

None, this place is a flaming ball of garbage, stay away. But if you're truly desperate then give this a shot, they are doing anything to get new employees and retain employees.

Cons

The new CEO asked the employees to write positive reviews on Glassdoor, so here goes, I'm positive this new CEO came in to gut the company and force the ex-CEO out. The new CEO changed strategies and laid off everyone dedicated to the old strategy, then he changed strategy again, then changed it back to basically a version of the original strategy. This used to be a great place to work with very talented people, he's laid off many critical people, and the last few gems left all left soon after the lay-off. The new CEO doesn't seem to have the expertise to lead the organization, he really lucked out by having his last company purchased by Facebook. There are way too many exec management employees, it's laughable. The company is almost 30% big paycheck execs from Amazon & Microsoft and other companies.

Pros

The people are nice and I learned a lot from the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Lack of communication, c-suite manages in absentia and doesn't take accountability. Promotes a toxic culture of smoke and mirrors and doesn't reward hard work and commitment.
