Pros

Pays salary on time. Salary is good.

Cons

Extremely toxic place. Your teammates will not co-operate or share resources or help you due to stack ranking. The manager and HR always work against the team trying to find whom to fire. Manager often mongers fear so that the team is scared and everyone sacrifices work life balance to stay on the team. It's a dog eat dog situation here.

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.
