Pros

- Most of the people happen to be nice and fun to work with - The office is nice too, and in another few years the rooftop deck might be accessible

Cons

- If you're looking for stability and job security, stay far away, this is as volatile of a business as I've ever come across (multiple people laid off after starting less than 6 months prior) - Nonexistent onboarding process after hire lots of ambiguity about what my roles/responsibilities would be - Often times neglected immediately after start date, made it very difficult to learn and grow into an integral member of the team and didn't feel empowered in any way - Extreme cynicism and negativity amongst majority of employees that I didn't buy into at first, but realized over time that those people knew exactly what they were talking about - Many more sayers than there are doers - Too many cooks in the kitchen - No defined company-wide mission, lots of different agendas competing against one another for attention - So many pointless and obstructive meetings that produce nothing but a waste of time and resources

Pros

Colleagues who are both smart and genuinely nice A fun office environment, sports-related events A fair amount of non-financial perks Approachable leadership compared to many other large companies Top tier benefit offerings Great employee resource groups

Cons

Constant restructuring of teams, especially in Tech RIFs began happening more regularly almost every year A lot of senior leadership roles are disconnected from processes and work that is happening Business growth is largely outside of the control of employees - there's lot of market and industry based factors to consider D&I is only a priority if it's required to be or if the incentives are right Career growth opportunities are much more competitive and limited at mid/senior levels
