      Pros

      compensation is ok, but the hours you have to work and politics you endure are terrible.

      Cons

      - clean code and test coverage zealots - withold feedback and pip you with no time to recover - everything is urgent - deliver results is the only leadership principle that matters. - it is no longer Day 1 - only add rules/regulations, never remove them - lots of meetings

      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.
