Pros

Excellent Benefits. Ok salary. Bunch of smart colleagues. Relaxed environment. Good opportunity to learn corporation's trick and tips.

Cons

Proprietary language, lot's of fake promises on career progress or side projects using common languages and tools. Easy to quickly forget what you learned during your career, I ensure you will spend the last 6 months of your employment there studying during the nights/weekends in order to get ready for the coming interview. Catastrophic middle management, I'is a corrupted club, if you are well connected your life will be easy otherwise your opinion matters little, the only option to avoid problems is just to say "yes, make sense" all the time it's requested. Useless HR, really don't know what they do apart from arranging the induction. Don't know how is possible to catch lots of "5 stars" reviews in glassdoor portal once the frustration feeling within app devs is pretty shared.

Pros

- Flexibility depends on your team - Benefits are ok - A lot of nice people who join the company, but unfortunately they leave

Cons

- The organizations are very political. - From the operations perspective behind from what the rest of the world is doing. - If you challenge your management, the response is the door is open for you to leave. Very close minded and very top to bottom culture. - Subgroups in the same departments work in silos. No cohesion. - No transparency

Great company, but culture is slipping

Pros

Brilliant people all working together to do amazing things. Best product on the market and really good technology backing it up.

Cons

Some senior leadership changes over the past couple of years are starting to erode the culture. People and customers first are core values, but as the company grows the focus is on metrics, not people.
