Pros

Good learning experience since we use latest tools and work on challenging problems.

Slow bureaucratic management often times very short sighted to meet expectations from higher ups rather than being passionate about building the product and directing long term tecnical vision.

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.
