      Pros

      - Pay could be worse for big tech - Good rental car benefits

      Cons

      - WLB is pretty bad depending on team - Getting promoted is highly dependent on your team, sometimes is not realistically possible, regardless of your ability - Too much politics around everyone doing what they can for promotion

      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.
