      Pros

      Little red-tape, teams are focused on getting stuff done. Lots of room to grow quickly, ownership is highly valued, engineers are capable and determined.

      Cons

      Engineers randomly get assigned focus/pip to meet org's goals, and it doesn't seem to be related to performance. ML development is behind other FAANG companies.

      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.
