      Pros

      Acceptable if this is your first job

      Cons

      1. Most of the good engineers left. 2. Some senior engineers DONOT know their team's services. 3. Projects are boring. Writing code is NOT your job. Your job is to solving stupid tickets. 4. Management is chaos 5. Around 50% people will left after 1 year. 6. You will take a long time to learn how to set up environment and do testing. But unfortunately, those things are useless in other companies. 7. Senior SDE likes to command people, pretend they are the manager.

      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.
