Pros

Stocks, location. Nothing else’s pretty much compared to other big tech companies.

Cons

Where do I begin. You are just a head count. If you are unlucky you can end up with abusive managers. I can’t function with the threat of being fired everyday. I have seen interns/junior devs bawling in the washrooms because of the pressure.

Pros

Hiring process is advanced so people are really great technically and behavior wise. Company is very mature in software development overall (best dev and operational practices, distributed and scalable architecture). The culture is strongly cultivated and very positive in the sense that it guide people to growth and develop great soft skills and leadership behaviors.

Cons

Move slower than it could. Some tendency to do Big design upfront. Not a very agile oriented company.
