Pros

Great for an 18 - 25 year old, single, entry level employee that enjoys work to the point that you have no life beyond work. Great company if you have no regular or scheduled commitments, or any interests beyond work. Also a great opportunity to see how a successful fast growing, extremely profitable company, can get it so wrong when it comes to their number 1 resource.

Cons

If you have a family, a full life, or previous experience with a well run company, this is not the place for you! Excessive travel and hours required to meet targets, especially if your market is not local. Then required to attend after hours drinking/social events if you want to be considered a team player, or have any chance of moving beyond your current position. Promotions are based on your networking skills - not on your performance. Very immature and inexperienced management team in most offices. Extremely cliquey and managers love to micro manage and give negative feedback to employees. No matter how much effort you put in it will never be enough for this company. The focus is ALWAYS on how much more you could have achieved in your market. Many employees are completely demotivated as management has no understanding or experience in how to deliver feedback or motivate employees.

Pros

Lunch, free fruit, decent WLB.

Cons

Favouritism, no appreciation for hard work + great output. Poor leadership with no vision and extremely high expectations from product managers. While I understand change is good, the amount of change here creates chaos and reduces productivity. The company feels like it's an excitable teenager who wants to try many things without self awareness or clear sense of purpose.

Pros

There's a few good teams doing good work in Product and Tech, and if you can make your way there and find the right people , you can learn new valuable things

Cons

1) The leadership seems disconnected from reality. The Glassdoor reviews have plunged dramatically in a few quarters, and the leadership when asked about this type of stuff, doesn't seem to care. 2) Lots of MSDs and Managers retaliate openly by hurting your performance review scores and bonuses. 3) Doesn't care about real work, but being a show pony, which is often not the personality good developers often have.
