Pros

Cool work and lots of it, strong cultural values, no nonsense. Strong leadership and smart/skilled colleagues.

Cons

Work/life balance. When the business needs you, it needs you. Sometimes a lot. Hard driving and fast moving environment may not suit everyone.

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.
