Pros

-Amazing product that changes the lives of people -Good opportunity to experience different aspects of the business (but thats just because its so poorly managed that everyone manages multiple things at once)

Cons

-Management is self interested and really doesn't give a damn about the staff -Zero succession planning, really no opportunity for promotion, horizontal movement only. They would rather bring someone else in than grow their own -Salary is pathetic. The ex-APAC HR director once told me that "we don't pay a lot because we are kind of like a charity"....no joke. This is a billion dollar company.

Pros

Good benefits, company matching for 401k

Cons

Toxic work environment where we are required to work overtime to meet project deadlines but are not compensated fairly. Bonuses are not always paid out even for stellar performance.
