Pros

Because it's in Santa Monica, there are some talented minds that come through here. Lime is an interesting cafeteria across the street that has a good variety of food.

Cons

Immature megalomaniacs for leadership. This company could be so good if leadership weren't chasing away all the smart minds. The only ones who stick around or those that can't find a well paying job elsewhere. It's sad. Even HR's hands are tied and act as mere puppets to the leadership. Don't go to HR with "confidential" issues because, like I said, puppetry. If you're in mild disbelief of this, just go to LinkedIn, find past employees, and ask ANY of them. Do your research before joining organizations that lure you in and then abuse you, hoping that codependency is their retention strategy.
