Pros

You get to work in small teams, work on interesting problems, develop on good infrastructure, work with smart people and gain invaluable experience

Cons

You will have to be on pager duty on a rotational basis, some teams have high operational load and thus are not able to dedicate as much time as they like on development.

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.
