Pros

Work with some of the smartest people I've ever met. Fast paced. Live the leadership principles every day. Value calculated risk taking and experimentation and piloting new things

Cons

Too fast paced often... Working in silos, poor program management, project management and change management. Heavy focus on data and metrics, which can be a great thing, but data sources all over the place. Flavor of the week mentality with priorities. Limited closed feedback loops

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
