Pros

Culture of change. Challenging the status quo. Try different solutions to problem solving.

Cons

Unrealistic productivity rates. Walk up to 15 miles a day. Repetitive tasks. Management plays favorites. Management promises opportunity for growth, never happens. Favoritism is rampant. zero respect for the associates on the floor from managers. Treated like children. The culture is all about one-upping the next person, from senior management down to the warehouse associates, it's very demoralizing. It's who you get along with not your talents/productivity that dictates where you go in the company. They work you very, very hard....which is not a problem with me, very physically intensive.

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.
