Pros
1) Swanky office + cool "fringe" perks (Macbook laptops, gym, free breakfast, bonuses) 2) Fun events every now and then 3) Young employees (it's easy to find friends in here especially of you're a Millennial) 4) Competitive health benefits 5) Flexitime
Cons
1) Serious identity crisis: On paper, it has all these ambitious visions and missions. But those barely translate to anything real. 2) Too many projects going on at the same time. Directions are confusing. So much time, money, and effort are wasted on ill-conceived products that don't really answer real-world needs. Voyager is your classic Jack-of-all-trades, master of none. 3) They celebrate the word "pivot" and enjoy killing projects. Pivots are understandable in start ups but if that's all you do, then there must be something wrong with the company. 4) Feedback process is a one-way street. There are peer reviews but there are no means of reviewing your managers. 5) Promotions and salary increases are very subjective. 6) Politics and credit-grabbing are prevalent. PR trumps hardwork. The doers are rarely recognized and rewarded. 7) Pressured to earn revenue because of high costs (wasteful marketing + larger-than-necessary manpower) but there's only a few saleable products that make sense. 8) High-pressure environment: working beyond office hours is a "norm." The culture of busy is celebrated. Lots of time are spent on planning and presenting strategies, then creating, marketing, and selling products. But at the end of the day/month/year, directions change, and all your efforts go to waste.
