Pros

Here are the positives... <this space intentionally left blank>

Cons

Job description is played down, it's not what they said it was going to be. Salary calculations from offer letter to no match actual month to month compensation. Schedule is random and always rotates, "core hours" is played up but you never know when "oncall" will be. "Oncall" is 8 hour shift IN THE OFFICE. Because of growth tools and process are often broken and the driving engineer and team take the hit.

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.
