Pros

Some of the people are bright and driven The company is growing fast and there is room for career advancement

Cons

Although some people are bright and driven, others have the ego of someone who sees themselves as bright and driven Your manager has a lot of control over your progression and he/she may not even understand basic ideas in software development You may end up receiving personal blame for failures inherited projects but never actually be assigned any time to fix them

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.
