Pros

There is Lots to learn from a lot of senior people. Very fast paced (Sometimes it's too much and can be stressful)

Cons

The company doesn't care of it's employee Salary wise, they would increase less than inflation even on a good performance! Career progression is super slow and so is salary increase, once in 3-6 years in a good case. perks are very little to none.

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.
