Pros

Awesome work environment.

Free club soda, fruit, random meals, and swag.

My team was level-headed. When one of us screwed up, no one got mad. We just acknowledged it and moved quickly to fix it.

You can work completely remote. And, surprisingly, when we were all in the office, I got way less work done.

This company is not like what you'd think. It's an epic place to work.

Cons

My only con that I can think of is that, while it strives to be a modern tech company, its company culture (at least in Scottsdale) is to pick a team and stay on it. I love to learn new technologies, and I don't think I could just pick one team to work on for more than two years. I don't think it's forbidden to jump teams, but it just felt like the company culture wouldn't agree with it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Advice to Management

At least for the Arizona engineers, let them feel like they can be free to move teams more freely. Also, for the interns in Arizona, take them to the Sunnyvale or Seattle office to mingle with the other interns because Arizona is way too hot in the summer to do anything fun.
