Pros

Amazing bonuses, full benefits, free breakfast and lunch, great coworkers. Sequoia is good at hiring people whose personalities mesh so it's always fun to catch up with coworkers at lunch and social gatherings. It's also very cool to work alongside some of the most brilliant minds in tech/VC, and be one of the first to know about new and upcoming companies.

Cons

There is little flexibility for underlings for things like family emergencies, new mothers' needs, doctor appointments, etc. and don't even try to ask if you can work from home one day. The managing partners have a firm policy against working remotely.

Pros

Salary, benefits, bonus, and maybe great team depending on what team you are in

Cons

Harassment 100% occurs at Sequoia. They are exceptionally good at hiding it and HR doesn't exist. Unless you count the person who has no background in HR doing the job. Management is old fashion and really rude.
