Pros

-talented, smart people -pay & benefits are good (RSUs, etc...) -flexible environment makes it easy on working parents -good work/life balance majority of the time -forced rankings performance reviews are going away - great news!

Cons

-revolving door with management. both in terms of attrition as well as frequent re-orgs. this stifles career progression when you get a new manager every 10-mos. -a boys' club. very few women or minorities at the VP+ level. clear favoritism of the "guy's guy" especially in product management, product development, and verticals/deals teams. -lack of vision and purpose; management is disconnected from what employees truly want/value -post-layoffs that happened this past Jan, and then the subsequent reorgs, please are leaving in droves. it's a *really* depressing time to be here and see us on the brink of spiraling out of control.

Pros

Company has very good values and follows them most times. Culture is warm and open meaning you can learn a lot if you want to. Good work-life balance ensures you don't have to sacrifice personal development. Peers are usually extremely qualified and smart (in analytics community). Leaders can be trusted to keep employee best-interests when making decisions.

Cons

Culture can be too relaxed at times impacting execution. Product isn't as high-end compared to other tech companies which can make you cynical.

Pros

Amazing benefits, quarterly bonuses, annual cost of living raises, good people, focus on proper training, involved management /leadership

Cons

Benefits / pay almost so good that you become stuck because you can't find the same at any other company. Once you promote out of entry-level phone agent it's nearly impossible to get anywhere unless you want to be a coach, trainer or team lead; even then it's a political game and popularity contest. They have bandaid fixes for huge problems & try to mask the real issues with free food or soda. VERY difficult metrics to meet & maintain to qualify for bonuses & raises.
