Pros

Good compensation. Good benefits. Executive leadership appears to be trying to improve the company. Plenty of great things to do if you can budget your time well enough to do it.

Cons

Senior Engineers are not held to a consistent standard for both hiring and promotions. The engineering tools' systems are a nightmare. If it wasn't built in house, it will not be used. No opportunity for open source solutions Mid-managers are unwilling to fix structural problems. Senior Managers are promoted on their ability to ignore structural problems. Feedback to any leadership is met with hostility and retaliations. Lack of commitment to invest in automation.

Don't be blinded by the logo - Terrible Place to Work

Pros

Free food and more t-shirts than any person would ever want. In exchange, you must give up your life, your family and personal well-being. PR and HR do a terrific job forcing employees to write positive reviews and augment the CEO's support rate to push down and hide the truthful not so lovely ones.

Cons

Un-achievable revenue expectations to please the stock exchange. These are only reachable through questionable deal practices and stabbing colleagues from other offices in the back.

Pros

Very eloquent CEO, Powerful Brand, currently very trendy and hype, still great growth of members and customers, Friendly culture polite, respectful and PC, Great benefits (especially 401K) and onsite perks, Great for Millennial to start their career and develop themselves (training and opportunities). Very slick PR, Transparent Communication and respectful collaborative culture on the surface, willing to optimize and scale now. Great potential if it can convert tests in other addressable markets into additional significant revenue streams to their main cash cow Recruiter products. Can either become an even bigger success story in its market regarding world domination and expansion like a Facebook, a Google or Amazon or be the next Twitter or Paypal (Layoffs/Restructure).

Cons

Despite 10 years of existence, still relatively young since IPO a few years ago and still immature regarding consistency, predictability and accountability. Not as great for more senior and experienced profiles as for Millennials to develop themselves (Very limited training and opportunities). Still struggling due to lack of focus and prioritization to grow other total addressable markets like CRM and L&D despite acquisitions and new product initiatives. Still a small town internal mentality, quite passive aggressive, hypocrite culture backstage, where people are very consultative but will do whatever they want afterwards leading to redundancies and complacency, still clinging fiercely and proudly to being scrappy over and over again, which at 300K revenue per employee only they should rethink moving forward. Lots of Operators focused on doing things fast and furious even it means scratching and redoing the same over and over again, but very little strategists -except at the very top- with big picture and collateral damage effect skills willing to do the right things right first time. Paradox of 70% of Individuals having a year or less in the company, among them lots of millennial, meaning talented but young with limited experience and expertise, when 80% of directors and up have been promoted from within over the years so lack of diversity of thoughts, making it quite hard to enter their circle, get alignment on new and/or different ways and often facing a very polite and very politically correct but "been there done that mentality".
