Pros

You get independence in working. Salary is decent and work environment is nice. WFH setup is provided if needed. A lot depends on how the manager is. Pros cannot be generalized to every team. Easy to switch internally.

Cons

Can get hectic during sales events and if deadline are not properly managed by the manager. PIP can come any time to stay on your toes.

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.
