Pros

Business trying to innovate and some ideas are great.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture among colleagues to prove they are better than their teammates due to survival of strongest view point of Jeff B. This rises all sorts of corrupt behavior, teammates fabrication of lies or exaggerated claims to hurt their own team mate. Inside a team you form your clique to support and others to blame. Good place to learn politics.

Pros

The food, people, and location where I interned were amazing.

Cons

Work seemed to stall many times, with much of my progress not being able to advance past certain points due to waiting on higher ups.

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.
