Pros

You're working with some of the smartest people in the industry, so you really learn a lot. Your managers are generally actually knowledgeable.

Cons

I think I would have liked a few more perks. There's not a lot of food options around the HQ, so atleast some free snacks would have been great.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits package with RSU's. Some jobs can be very interesting but most are just repetitive. They are focused on change and look for ways to improve thier operations.

Cons

Most jobs are extremely repetitive and the culture is too focused on change. Communication is terrible and changes can occur weeks ago before you are notified. Usually by being asked why you are not in compliance.
