Pros

Fast growth opens many positions to advance your career. Stock Price.

Cons

Most Horrible Work Conditions for employees. Incompetent Regional/Senior Management who know nothing of how business runs daily but make all decisions. No recognition for hard work and/or smart decisions. Too many changes that dont make sense and create lot of churn. Poorest work life balance. Lack of good systems and infrastructure to support employees who then have to make up through working even more.

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.
