Pros

Opportunity all over the place

Cons

Slow to ramp up. Company set up for people with little experience and requiring hand holding to get moving. Program Manager title is misleading, I'm a individual contributor - NOT leading a team of any sort. At this point of my career (>20 yrs), I'm looking at this as a learning experience, but can't see staying in this role for too long.

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.
