Pros
- smart people - interesting product - can make a big impact - decent benefits and free food - good location near a T stop
Cons
The unlimited vacation policy is really just for PR. Sales people can't take vacation unless they claim quota relief months in advance, otherwise you'll go on vacation but risk being fired because you didn't hit quota. And in other departments, you have to work throughout your vacation just to keep up, or work 80+ hour weeks before and after your vacation (which kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?). The office is so full of intense, A-type personalities, which can be a good thing for being around smart people, but also a bad thing because nobody EVER stops working, so you feel like you can't either. This leads to unnecessary burnout and miserable employees.
