Pros

Pay is good comparative to others in industry 4 day work weeks great benefits of health, dental, vision and many more Can transfer to nearly any position being the company is so large

Cons

High levels of daily stress Many poor middle managers, lack of development unless you have one of the good ones poor promotion structure, not based on results but more political and popularity you are certainly a number and everyone is replicable at all times HR more often then not is against management when interpreting policies, making it very difficult to hold any associates accountable

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.
