Pros

Fun and challenging problems every day. I get to work alongside and learn from some of the smartest people I know. There are so many ways to have a big impact on millions of people. A chance to participate in history.

Cons

Its really challenging to keep a good work life balance here, and that seems to be by design. It's a bit of a chaotic environment and isn't always the easiest place to get things done.

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.
