      Pros

      Money was ok, but not enough for the stress they put you through

      Cons

      They stack rank and management has mandatory 10% attrition. They put people on PIP programs they don't intend on passing... 10% might pass? Worst engineering I've ever seen Long hours because of horrible tech debt

      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.
