Pros

The company will give you opportunities to do meaningful things every day. It's run like 1000s of little startup companies, with each two-pizza team owning a significant chunk of work. Decision making is pushed down to the lowest levels, and teams have a lot of autonomy to decide on what tools and technologies to use to get the job done.

Cons

Staff turnover and rotation seems to be a constant, but I think that's pretty norm for our industry.

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.
