      Pros

      Good pay, decent work life balance, and good benefits. Rarely will you find a place that is finding solutions at a scale as large as this.

      Cons

      Due to constrained headcount and hiring freezing there's been a lot of prioritization thrashing. Meaning the thing you might be working on that is priority #1 might change midway through your project. Can lead to burnout.

      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.
