Pros

Work always exciting, challenging and enjoyable. Projects and features are launched at a scale that rarely exist in other companies, and my team is one I would happily work in for a long time.

Cons

Can be frustrating when work is needed in other teams' systems as Away team model is advocated over escalations. Promotions are difficult and inconsistent between teams.

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.
