Pros

You learn how bad organized company works.

Cons

Working around 60 hours per week and paid for only around 45 hours. Company is a disaster and you will like working there only if you are lucky that you end up in a team where everyone forgets that you even exist because there you can work for 40 hours a week. Take a look at leadership principles and laugh at them since not even senior managers working close to Jeff on daily basis take them serious.

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.
