      Pros

      You'll develop thick skin from navigating the toxic work environment. 401k match is pretty good too.

      Cons

      Management is extremely toxic. Some things I've seen from managers here: 1. Regularly bullying an underperforming employee (to the point of tears) until HR had to be involved 2. Shouting at an employee during a team standup for not completing enough Jira story points that sprint 3. Paging an employee who was out on vacation (seen this happen multiple times) 4. Pressuring employees to disable automated tests in order to meet a tight deadline, and then blaming the same employees for causing a production issue that was caught by those tests.

      Pros

      Fun in-office events related to marketing sponsorships (MLB, NCAA, etc.)

      Cons

      Despite its rigorous hiring process, the company goes out of its way to psychologically wear you down until you eventually leave on your own accord or are put through its impersonal and insulting PIP experience. Performance review season never ends, and you will watch as your talented, dedicated colleagues lose their access to health insurance because a member of the senior leadership team decides they don't "measure" against another employee who works on a different product and in a different team environment. If you're lucky, it won't happen to you, but the odds aren't in your favor, especially if you work in UX as a designer or researcher. And if you work for a newer or less established team, your chances of getting pushed out are exponentially higher.
