Pros

Your code will get to production very soon, you will see how it scales with millions of users. Early deployment and improving iterations bring satisfaction. Minimum of code is written into a drawer.

Cons

Compared to small companies, there is lots of administration here. However there are processes for everything, so there is guarantee, that you will get what you need. It just can take time. Not so many perks like in Google/Facebook.

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.
