      Pros

      - The pay is very high, especially for someone fresh out of college. - Great health insurance plans - 401k matching - Constantly surrounded by talented people - Engineering practices are top tier

      Cons

      - High stress environment, you are expected to pick things up very fast and deliver high quality work quickly - Turnover rate is about a year for good reason, this job will squeeze as much out of you as possible - Very individualistic job, you are the owner of your projects which causes an "everyone for themselves" kind of feel at times

      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.
