      Pros

      Great learning experience. Builds strong work ethic. You get to work on really exciting products that are moving the world forward and stock is growing because of the culture of hard work.

      Cons

      You will feel tons of pressure to get things done. Work/life balance is not valued here as much as other places overall. However, your culture will highly depend on the team you're on.

      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.
