Pros

Fast growth opens many positions to advance your career. Stock Price.

Cons

Most Horrible Work Conditions for employees. Incompetent Regional/Senior Management who know nothing of how business runs daily but make all decisions. No recognition for hard work and/or smart decisions. Too many changes that dont make sense and create lot of churn. Poorest work life balance. Lack of good systems and infrastructure to support employees who then have to make up through working even more.

Cons

-Expensive lunch options (~$10+), since there are no company subsidized cafeterias -Parking is costly, and public transit is OK -Benefits are OK, but not on par with Google or MSFT
