Pros

Excellent compensation, the brand reputation is real, and the employer has excellent 401k

Cons

The hours are definitely more than what HR might tell you at the beginning, I think I spent perhaps closer to 90 hours on a week, but that might be because I am on the software side

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.
