Pros

- great minds to work with - great benefits and perks

Cons

- micromanagement upto some level - there's some level of competency at the managerial level - Verticals keeps on changing to accommodate tenured manager promotions - work life balance is not their best forte. People are "expected" to be up at 2 am if they are paged

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.
