Pros

Good access to support, education, and most resources to do our jobs, including software and access to servers and internal resources. Individual teams or groups can be fairly autonomous.

Cons

Especially in the last 5 years, it's feeling a lot more corporate, there's processes and cogs everywhere, and you or your work sometimes get caught in them.

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.
