      Pros

      Great managers, great opportunities to work on interesting things. Clear path for career progression. Stock awards based on annual performance, contributions are generally noticed and rewarded.

      Cons

      Heavily siloed into particular areas, high ops burden makes projects drag on for years instead of months. Not enough time spent on R&D work. "Office centric company" culture will probably make me jump ship as I've had my best year ever working remotely.

      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.
