Fake, Political and Orwellian

Pros

- Great benefits - Good name recognition - Fair compensation

Cons

- Sudden, unexpected early success led to inflated egos and poor governance among company leaders - As a result, the company's culture is a strange mix of entitlement, self-aggrandizement, with some deep-seeded insecurity - From the C level on down, the company says the right things -- from strategy to cultural engineering -- it is about "vision", "diversity" and so on - When it comes down to practice, such as hiring, review or planning, the decisions are often arbitrary, and clownishly contradicting - Yet the enforcement of those decisions is nothing short of authoritarian. PeopleOps operates like a secret police force: some lunch time bantering about the company's direction would be reported, recorded, then came back to haunt you during reviews
