Pros

Fun to work on the bleeding edge of numerous technologies. Everything is a stress test. Innovation is constantly required.

Cons

It’s a big ship, infrastructure can be stifling and information can be widely spread out and hard to find. Procedures and processes are perpetually obsolete. Promotion process is a bit of a black box, obscure and hard to penetrate.

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.
