Pros

Fast moving company, lean organization, professional management, very innovative and a great learning environment.

Cons

Lean (overworked) organization, lack of sufficient focus on the long term impact, very rigid schedules, lack of testing (leading to lots of operational overhead), better for someone straight out of school than experienced, salary is not great.

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.
