Pay is pretty good, but culture is terrible (and I'm being kind)
1.0Current Employee / Engineer
Pros: Pay is good, and perks such as insurance are quite decent as well
Cons: Culture is toxic, and will drain the life out of you

amazing place to grow and learn
5.0Current Employee / Analyst - Business Consulting
Pros: amazing place to grow and learn. work alongside type A people who all want to win. extremely high standards internally and everyone focused on winning
Cons: work hard. amazing place to grow and learn. i can't think of another place where you can have as much impact. very flat organization and the opportunity is yours to lose

Lots of money for lots of dumb ideas
4.0Former Employee / Software Engineer
Pros: You can make more money than God, but no real growth.
Cons: Speed is the only thing that matters— speed for what? Does not matter , just get it done fast. A few departments more toxic than others

It’s a big name, it means something.
3.0Current Employee / Software Engineer
Pros: Cash, prestige, learning in that order. People will listen. People will look at your CV.
Cons: Company is growing so more bureaucracy starting to happen. Not everybody will look at your CV. Pay has been starting to stagnate for engineers.
