      Pros

      Dealing with huge amount of e-commerce data Super scaling DW infrastructure Strong hands-on for end-to-end BI/DW practice Unique ELT framework

      Cons

      Throwing hardware upon problems Barely polished data model KOL and operational pressure is very high Poor medical insurance compared with Google, MS, Expedia in Seattle area High turn-over rate If stock price goes up, then you get less RSU next year because your previous RSU's value is too much

      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.
