Pros

You get to work with very smart people on interesting software projects at the largest scale which involves challenging problems often requiring inventing new techniques and technologies to solve them.

Cons

Their culture of growing to the next level is to prove you're able to get more stuff done quicker which leads to overburn.

Pros

Good pay Clean facilities Safe environment

Cons

Even though I had a bachelor's, I was never considered for management position. Hopefully you live nearby or tolls across the bridge will kill your income.

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.
