Pros

Total comp was pretty good. Coworkers were great.

Cons

Lack of clear ownership Weeks upon weeks of war rooms to deal with the problems caused by so called pizza teams making decisions without thinking about the side effects of their decisions. Systems are fragile. Endless escalations. Endless status updates and dates for dates. No autonomy. The director level is definitely in charge. Design skills not used. It could have just been the group with whom I worked but I couldn't never take the chance again.

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.
