Pros

Seniors are incredibly talented and you’ll learn a lot working with them

Cons

If you’re on a dead-end or low impact project, your career growth is limited. Worse so if you’re working with managers who aren’t capable of assessing the state of what you’re working on in the first place and have backwards ideas of how a team or project should work.

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.
