Pros

Projects are always ambitious, and the culture is quite unique. A lot of opportunities to learn. Salary is nothing much, but sign on bonuses are amazing.

Cons

Slow for taking action. Huge organization that demands a lot of approvals before an action is decided. Most of the teams are not aware of what is occurring with other work streams they should be supporting. Feedback mechanism not really useful.

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.
