Pros

Full work week hours, overtime (sometimes) 6 paid holidays, accrue paid time off.

Cons

Data driven management that do not care for their teams. High turn over, but once fully hired incredibly difficult to get rid of bad associates. Unrealistic expectations from employees. Used to love coming to work - over two years was fantastic, but recent changes in managing style have ruined this once great place to work to a place you cannot leave soon enough.

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.
