Pros

Fast moving, growing, innovative company full of smart people. If you are self-motivated and want to get things done, this is your place. Never a dull moment and always challenging or you are working for the wrong team. Ability to move within the company. Dog friendly. Cultural diversity.

Cons

Demands can be brutal--hard to achieve work life balance as you rise through the ranks. Super hard to get promoted. Salary/raises are stingy. RSU's are treated as part of your regular salary. No business class on long-haul flights. Paid holidays are ridiculously low in US.

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.
