      Pros

      Super smart people and the freedom to work on tough engineering problems.

      Cons

      Chaotic and frequently confrontational. Unless you get very aggressive about your own career growth; others who less competent but appear to be retention risk will pass you by. Different orgs seem to have a different bar for promotions and it seems to be driven by the level of desperation in retaining talent in a particular org than a pure merit based system.

      Pros

      I got paid weekly, there was a $2 premium for night shifts.

      Cons

      The only con was the 2 hour commute to and from work.

      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.
