Pros

High compensation and a high quality office.

Cons

Management made business decisions at the expense of employee mental health. Very few benefits compared to other companies. Signing bonus and relocation bonus were both prorated over the first year, so early resignation is highly penalized.

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.
