Pros

You work with really smart people and learn a lot. You have good opportunity for advancement and growth. People are generally friendly.

Cons

You work way too much. Luck plays a major role in promotions because everyone is very good at what they do and everyone works really hard. This makes it hard to differenciate yourself.

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.
