Pros

Challenging problems. Very clear promotion criteria, and plenty of room for growth in a steady manner. You choose your lane. Decisions are very data-driven, and are usually made for the benefit of the customer.

Cons

Internal tools are often clumsy, and are probably the most frustrating aspect of work you would encounter. As a software developer, you take operational responsibility for your applications and have to do on-call work. Collaboration between teams in different offices often takes a long while.

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.
