      Pros

      Good pay + benefits. Talented coworkers. Lots of in-house skill development resources for those sufficiently motivated.

      Cons

      Terrible crunch culture and arcane politics from upper management can often lead to poor work-life balance and perpetual crunch within certain orgs, that only get worse as high-value contributors slowly start showing signs of burn-out.

      Pros

      Great leadership experience, fast-paced environment, strong team environment, and valuable exposure to operations management

      Cons

      Long hours during peak periods, high performance expectations, and work-life balance can be challenging.

      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.
