      Pros

      Good people, never boring, fast paced, no two days are ever the same.

      Cons

      No one takes responsibility for problems, no one really fixes them. Work your butt off, no overtime, expected to put in 60+ hrs a week. Very expensive area to live in. Reviews are the pits with backstabbing and co-workers who put in bad reviews to see you fall or get fired. Job description and duties will change out unless you set it in stone. Work life balance... what's that?

      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.
