Pros

None, stay away from this company

Cons

Everybody is pushy and aggressive and cares about promotion only A lot of over engineered code just because somebiday had to promote One of the metrics for promotion is the number of comments on pull requests, this blows in the face of sdes of course because you'll have random questions on your pull requests... Some of them not related to the current pr!! Highly disappointed about the quality of projects I found here Management is encouraging this type of behavior

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.
