Pros

Met some awesome people with crazy talents that will go above and beyond for you.

Cons

Everything is all rainbows and butterflies during all company meetings. There is never admission to things not being great - so when you are laid off completely out of the blue, it comes as a total shock. Very unprepared. If you do not have the Greek Life mentality, the culture is tricky to navigate. Your team/ department budgets are VERY SLIM, which is totally understandable for a startup division and appreciated. However when he company mandates parties and celebrations and spends $15K on signage, you start to question where their priorities are. Its all a front. What the outsider sees is what matters. This company would be AMAZED at what it can do if they replaced 50% of the "fun" budget to actually getting the supplies and tools needed for their teams to succeed.

Pros

They are good at hiring many different terrific people.

Cons

Same thing you've read before. Cult-like culture. Weaponized, encoded feedback. Gendered expectations—I was given "feedback" to shrink myself to fit in; would they have said the same thing to a guy? Best was when my lead encouraged me to submit an anonymous survey for "feedback" on my character and performance to my entire team. :/
