      Pros

      It's a well-respected company, and a lot of exciting things are happening. I think the company has a good long-term outlook

      Cons

      Pager duty (and supporting software 24/7) as an SDE. Having to coerce other teams into helping you with things. Documentation is lacking on pretty much everything, so there is a lot of frustration starting anything new.

      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.
