Pluspunten

Good pay, bonuses, good lunch spots, dogs are the best, people are smart and sharp, Seattle is the best place in the world.

Minpunten

They trap you with your bonus for a year, don't spend that money as you will want to leave quickly. Don't even dream of hanging around til your stock vests. You're reading these and thinking, "Oh, they all must have just had a bad experience." No - the culture is built to be cruel and draining. They will not value you as a human being. Assistants were quitting left and right around me, leaving me to support executives above my level on top of the ones I was hired for. There will be no extra compensation or reward, only a subtle acknowledgment that you are tough enough to endure what everyone else is going through. Everyone is hostile and political once you get to know them. Everyone is living shells of lives away from their families. Everyone clings to the idea that it's all worthwhile and their lives have meaning when really, it's just online retail. The pace is frenetic and it never slows down. You will get headaches, your health will decline, your relationships will suffer. There are so many other places that value assistants, this is not one of them. Do yourself a favor and really examine your motivations for applying here. If you have something to prove, go climb a mountain.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
