Pros

Wicked smart co-workers, truly amazing work that's intellectually stimulating, good culture, most people are nice

Cons

Signs of "corporatization" and as the original founders pass the reign to the next set of leaders, its concerning they might slowly make OT lose its magic. Specifically, additional processes, red tapes, etc. At the same time, processes that need to work faster doesnt - e.g. expense. Lots of "non-producers" adding to dead weight and bureaucracies and not to mention adding to overweight cost. Not to sound brutal but I see lots of folks during Monday breakfast whom I'm not sure what they do - perhaps need some internal process/cost efficiency experts to review.

Pros

Flexible depending on your manager. Friendly coworkers. Really good company to have on your resume, recruiters constantly reaching out. Very diverse company.

Cons

Little transparency from upper management. Constantly on edge about new changes. HYD office opening created a ton of extra work that we won't see the benefits of for a long time.
