      Very laid back with great perks but a little too laid back and easy to not get work done.

      Pros

      I only worked there for a summer internship but it was a great experience! Great pay rate for a software engineering intern, free drinks, basketball courts with plenty people to play with, great work play balance, very laid back.

      Cons

      I didn't feel like I accomplished as much work there because of how laid back it was. My manager was very distant and the only time we met was when I arranged a meeting.

      Fast paced but unorganized, fragmented systems, too much execution focus

      Pros

      Fast aggressive workplace. Too much focus on operational issues and not much on learning and skill development.

      Cons

      Will be hard to learn new skills and change jobs. Anytime you change you are placed at the back of the promotion queue. So easy to get pigenholed. I changed mutliple roles and found that each time I was placed in the back of the queue. After few years, I was ridiculously lower grade, while they brought fresh people with unproven skills at much higher levels. Also my manager gave me a high speech about innovation and doing things differently to grow while people were coming in at a lot higher grade without doing any of these things. That is the biggest issue.
