Great place to work, but the reward system is flawed
Great perks, paid well, smart coworkers.
The reward system is strongly biased toward 'launches,' i.e. new features, new products. You can't get promoted by doing incremental improvements. But there is only so much new features/products really worth doing. So if you are the kind of person who likes to fix bugs, refactor bad code instead of inventing useless new features, this may not be the best place for you.
