Pros

- Some of the smartest people I've met work here - Little perks such as yearly paid outing for family, paid trips every 5 years - Opportunities to work on products loved the world over

Cons

- Super-rigged review system (you better know how to suck up). The longer you stay, the faster you inch upward in terms of position and pay. And if you suck up well, you can get by doing little work too. - Low pay as compared to others in this space. - Artificially created atmosphere of austerity/simplicity. - No work from home option.

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
