Pros

- Great place to learn new technologies. - Team was close, and banded together against unrealistic expectations - Generous starting pay package

Cons

- Zero professional growth. - Expected to always take on more roles and responsibilities, but without a pay increase. - Bar raiser promotion system is a joke ( why would anyone work for you if they are better than 75% of the people there?)

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.
