Pros

Big company with a startup culture Lots of good people working. Work life balance is manageable. Customer is the priority.

Cons

Sometimes I feel like management and business don't really know what they want. Although having lots of different teams working together is a great idea, in the real world that does not work very well. Different teams have different priorities and often times this leads to a priority war, where who gains is the team with the better manager/director.

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.
