Pros

-Opportunity to work on some of the industry's biggest problems -You will absolutely get to work with the top 20% of co-workers who you can learn from -Energizing environment that makes you want to go further -If ever there was a company designed around avoiding any hint of micromanagement, this is it.

Cons

-The fast pace and self-serve model isn't for everyone (I happen to love it) -There aren't as many perks as some other companies -It can be hard to figure out who you need to talk to or where to go to find information -If you need to grow a team, it can be hard to recruit rapidly

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.
