Pros

you will have the chances to collaborate with lots of teams, since it's a service oriented architecture company. Quickly, you will learn the way to work with others to get things done. Very supportive team environment, have channels to get support from various levels

Cons

no perks at all, management level was expecting you to work over hours as normal. when running scrum, sometime it's just the procedure, which caused too many interruptions of engineering work.

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.
