Pros

* The compensation is very good. * It doesn't lack in opportunities. People use this to move around a ton. * The company has great job stability because it's been growing for so many years.

Cons

* It's hard to keep the work life balance in check. * Engineers are asked to work insane amounts of hours. * Aggressive management tactics to manage individuals out of the company. * Low movement in upper management because they don't get managed out even when they are poor performers.

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.
