Pros

Working with the latest technologies. Working in small teams of really smart people. Lot of transparency in reviews and promotions.

Cons

Very aggressive work environment. There is a lot of work, but, its not necessarily good. There are a lot of resources and people to learn from, but, there isn't enough time, there is always a deadline looming over your head. Almost no perks in comparison to other good tech companies. There is a heavy focus on delivery and learning needs to be done on your own time.

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.
