Pros

Excellent Benefits. Ok salary. Bunch of smart colleagues. Relaxed environment. Good opportunity to learn corporation's trick and tips.

Cons

Proprietary language, lot's of fake promises on career progress or side projects using common languages and tools. Easy to quickly forget what you learned during your career, I ensure you will spend the last 6 months of your employment there studying during the nights/weekends in order to get ready for the coming interview. Catastrophic middle management, I'is a corrupted club, if you are well connected your life will be easy otherwise your opinion matters little, the only option to avoid problems is just to say "yes, make sense" all the time it's requested. Useless HR, really don't know what they do apart from arranging the induction. Don't know how is possible to catch lots of "5 stars" reviews in glassdoor portal once the frustration feeling within app devs is pretty shared.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
