Pros

Interesting, fast paced environment, working alongside a very bright and well aligned group of people. Also, the opportunities to grow vertically and horizontally throughout the organization are unlike anything I've experienced previously, even in management consulting. Base compensation is good, though not great. When topped up with variable compensation however, it is very attractive.

Cons

The culture demands that you're able to defend your views or decisions in a rigorous, data driven way, and accept criticism constructively without taking it personally. This doesn't suit everyone, however if it does, then both these things become significant Pros, adding to your experience and growth.

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.
