Pros

1. Good work life balance 2. Good name on CV

Cons

1. Site needs many years before being mature and productive 2. Management line stuff doesn't take risks, doesn't move teams forward 3. Managers (P4+) and above have much power and a lot of benefits 4. A very bad hierarchical structure, if you won't advance to a manager, you will stay at Senior Engineer (P3) with low salary 5. Policy rule the site, everything is arranged under the table 6. HR department is useless 7. Employees are not paid equally and fairly according to their years of experience

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
