world class benefits (401k match / meals & snacks / parental leave / hybrid schedule) great people that are top tier in the industry

it's hard work, sometimes long hours and sometimes weekends depending on the team your on. On top of the hard work, it's become very bureaucratic which has led to distrust and angst among departments, cross functional teams, the company, etc
