Pros

Pretty good work-life balance, good cafeteria options, free drinks and snacks, supportive teammates across all levels

Cons

Still has legacy code that is not maintained, lots of half-baked solutions that are now coming back to bite, and recent layoffs (multiple rounds).

The pay is not great, often even lower than surrounding retail stores. Average employees being part time.
