Fun place to work but not a place to grow !

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, Office culture, work life balance, trainings and travel opportunity

Cons

compensation can be good if u joined in past couple of years. For interns coverting to full time it could be plus and minus. The compensation is too good to say no but once you are in the company the immediate management is not good enough to train the intern or new grad. Majority of the people are highly experienced and are not willing to give responsibilities to young minds easily. another major con is layoffs. They dont hesitate to even layoff <1 old new hire.

Pros

Compensation is on par with other Silicon Valley tech companies. Work/life balance is reasonable.

Cons

No real strategy, just a bunch of unrelated features and services that release each year. Terribly matrixed with no alignment across teams. It's very common to be working o a project and then find out there is an entire team doing exactly what you are trying to do. No vertical career growth. Most opportunities are horizontal. Terrible culture. So much apathy. No one cares about the quality of what they are releasing. Mediocre results are not only tolerated, they are celebrated. Very poor middle management.
