Soulless.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good.

Cons

High turn over. High burnout. You’re nothing more than a metric. They only care about metrics. There is no fairness here. No room to move up and tons of useless middle management. Arbitrary and childish rules. Hourly employees are treated as lesser than salary and have stricter rules. Don’t expect to be treated like an adult here. Want to have freedom to take 5 minutes to get free food? No, there’s rules. Achieving your goals and doing your job? Expect a performance improvement plan.

Pros

Discounts on food, trips, generous stock options that go up in value fast. Looks great on a resume, work on amazing projects and get to watch your hard work go up into the air

Cons

You are only ever judged on your failures or lack there of, never on your successes.
