Pros

- Get to work with modern technologies - Plentiful opportunities to tackle difficult challenges - Competitive Total Compensation Package - Management (at least our team's) has taken/is taking steps in the right direction to help alleviate WLB concerns - Really smart SDE peers

Cons

- Can at times be very "startupy," with you having to wear multiple hats and wishing there was some better documentation. - From what I've heard, WLB and culture can vary a lot team to team. I've been fortunate enough to have had a great experience thus far.

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.
