Pros

1. Onboarding process is good, with three months plan to cover a lot of topics. 2. A lot of knowledge, process to learn, a lot of tools to get you engaged. 3. People are pretty nice and very technical, dive deep is a basic skill. 4. Manager truly cares about employee, provides feedback and opportunity for them.

Cons

1. The system is pretty complex, ramp up time is not quick. 2. A lot of work to do, a lot of information to digest which keep you busy. 3. No free snacks, no free food, even there is no bananas anymore.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
