Pros

They hold a high standard on work/life balance by NOT incentivizing overtime and encouraging efficiency during work hours to get stuff done. They provide mentors and teach you a great portion of what you need to know. If you possess curiousity, ask the right questions, and like to build your own schedule (during work hours), this is the place for you!

Cons

As a college graduate entering industry for the first time, I was overwhelmed with how many processes and workflows I had to learn, some of which I didn't ask because I had so many questions. After this phase, it was smoother sailing and easier days.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
