Pros

* Great rank and file people who genuinely make it a pleasant place to work * Lots of opportunity to have an impact on the product and infrastructure * Great career advancement opportunities for junior engineers

Cons

* Bait and switch tactics are common in hiring (you've been warned!) * Company values are preached but not practiced (e.g. transparency, diversity, etc.) * Very reactive management and planning style (e.g. only care and act if something is on fire) * Below market compensation and no annual compensation review * Time vested RSUs are clawed back either immediately or after three years (depending on contract) should you leave

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
