Your development expertise will grow immensely. You are surrounded by some of the smartest engineers in the world, so you learn a lot

VERY fast paced, sink or swim, but if you can swim you'll go far. Oncall is required on pretty much every team

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.
