Pros

All the benefit. Nice stock options. Offices in downtown.

Cons

Salaries tend to be a bit on the low side if you happen to be immigrant. Management focus on "results", ie, number of deployments, number of tickets. Managers just care on keep a "happy" state, no matter the project. If your project is building new tools or is behind because you need to build a new service, you will have your team's manager on your back everyday, no matter how much you do.

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.
