Pros

Truly an amazing and innovative place to work. I have had nothing short of joy working with my team and the highly scalable tools that the infrastructure provides. It can be quite the load of work at times, but you are always encouraged to automate and innovate--even when that means tearing out the old stuff you don't like. The whole world is your playground here.

Cons

Workload can be high, but it is manageable--they are very considerate about work-life balance, and offer easy VPN access when working from home is necessary.

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.
