Pros

They have a very high hiring bar, so you will be surrounded by very sharp and motivated people. There is a 'can-do' spirit everywhere. Extremely fast paced. Culture of getting things done. Lots of opportunities available within the company if yo want to switch.

Cons

Great hiring bar but equally pathetic on-boarding bar. Nobody cares whether new people come and go. Nobody has the time to talk completely or sit and explain what's going on. "working in ambiguity" is the excuse for not justifying why a project exists "entreprenurial culture" is the excuse for not investing in processes. "we think long-term" is an the excuse to not pushback on projects that don't make sense or don't justify costs

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
