Pros

It's a very fast-paced environment, there are always new ideas, projects, initiatives to work on. My job changes fairly quickly- it's dictated by what programs need to be started or focused on at the time and I love that (but I know it's not for everyone.) They let you run with ideas if you prove value to the customers. The customer obsession is real. If you thrive on that service mindset, it's THE place to work. They live and breath the core values, it's not just lip service. The people are great- it tends to attract people who have high intellect but even higher passion and that's infectious to be around.

Cons

The pace can run you in to the ground if you don't set (and stick to) boundaries. It's hard to ramp up and navigate because it's a massive organization that has tons of disparate teams and processes. They claim the "start-up mentality" and in some ways it's true, but not for the best. There's not a lot of rigor around processes and since everything is always changing there is an issue with gaining efficiency and knowledge sharing.

Pros

good share plan, flexible working if you are in an EU team, alot of smart people, very strong culture and company vision - always something exciting. Great MBA program.

Cons

Ops and corporate are two different worlds, bare that in mind when reading the reviews. The Corp offices have a much better culture than ops. Sometimes questionable review processes.

Pros

Culture is amazing and very unique to rest of the industry. Dynamism which creates room for continuous innovation and new opportunities to cease. Truly a customer-eccentric company which challenges one to maintain high performance bar.

Cons

Compensation competitiveness is not very great.
