Pros

Work with amazing people, understand how to build and maintain real services.

Cons

Compensation model is attractive but realize you get nothing more in the first 4 years after you start. It really makes it hard to want to work a lot harder when you put in weekends and evenings to ship, get an amazing review, and no extra compensation because you negotiated hard when you came in.

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.
