Pros

Everything is comfortable and acceptable though not amazing in any way. The people coworkers are nice and friendly to an extent. The work can be exciting or not, depending on the project and what department you are in.

Cons

There are some bad corporate policies. For example, they have a policy against giving references. They also keep things secret if you are not directly working on a project. They do not serve free lunch and that they do serve is not great. The surrounding food trucks range from bad to good but the good ones have long lines.

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.
