Pros

+ Working with cutting edge technology + Outstanding alignment through leadership principles + Innovation mentality + Considerable growth opportunities + Excellent manager onboarding

Cons

- Outside of the manager onboarding courses, obtaining the right information is quite a challenge at times. As a result of this, to feel effective takes quite some time, mainly - in my opinion - due to to the amount of tribal knowledge required to reach the first stage of disambiguation. This is inefficient.

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.
