Pros

Salary and stock option are top tier and can boost your personal savings. The on-boarding process allows for a unique opportunity to travel.

Cons

Size is too big. The company hires way too many people and then let more than half of them go. Does not show appreciation of hard work or value of employees. Additionally with little standard practices to follow the culture allows for biased promotion practices.

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.
