      Pros

      Management recognizes hard work and/or talent. Good culture, employees are majority upbeat. Workspace is modern and beautiful. Work-life balance is encouraged.

      Cons

      For being a top 4 tech company, pay is significantly lower than 4 closest competitors. Team dependant.. but management has a tendency to ignore large technical problems.. or under estimate complexity of projects leading to false starts and resets where we have to dig out of the hole we find ourselves in. Commonly, a virtual team prototypes with no domain knowledge, ships it, gets rewards, and hands off maintenance to the experts to fix. Maintaining team is expected to pull miracle fixes out but isn't rewarded proportional to the challenge. Horizontal hops are disproportionately rewarded vs. consistent top contributors.
