Pros

Pay is good as well as the benefits.

Cons

During the busy season you do not see your family much because of the long hours. And the place only shuts down on Christmas day and New Years day otherwise you work all of the holidays.

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.
