Pros
- modern offices / open space - dominating role in its market segment - lots of talented people with various backgrounds - free cereals and coffee for everyone
Cons
- no clear idea on how to develop employees (i.e. no career possibilities) at least in tech - people managers are friendly but have no say - most executives / directors have been with the company way too long and simply lack skills for their positions (especially in the engineering department) - below average pay. The „brand identity“ and hippness factor seem to guarantee a steady stream of people willing to work below market value - engineering gets no recognition; the marketing department gains all the applause. Example: the CEO might control the exact design of product packaging, while engineers need to beg for resources to keep the actual products alive - some products are drowning in ultra-deep tech debt
