Pros

Competitive pay, stock options, 4-day full-time work week, decent benefits, voluntary overtime is usually available

Cons

Revolving management, employees are seen as numbers, interpretation of rules are up to individual managers' discretion, salary cap, limited options for promotion, managers are usually newly hired in (promoting up into management is difficult; this also makes them largely unfamiliar with the job), employees are terribly under-utilized, much of the year you're on mandatory overtime, parts of the year are super slow

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.
