Pros

Get to deal with interesting problems, involvement in very large architecture design, monitoring, and maintenance, smart coworkers, good compensation

Cons

The work is complex and new requirements can appear quickly, which can be a bit mentally draining. With so many smart people on the teams, the impact of your work will likely be lower for the first few years than your previous position.

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.
