Pros

People are smart and hard working.

Cons

Communication from leadership is either lacking or inconsistent. You don't get much direct feedback that help you grow. When you do, the feedback tends to be stale (e.g., things from a year ago) or inconsistent to the reality (e.g., thumbs-up followed by disapprove/no-action). This isn't helpful for career growth.

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.
