Pros

Its a growing company. They are trying to do everything. They have a strong vision of what they are trying to do. Free coffee and tea.

Cons

Its a sweat shop. They are completely up their own backsides with their leadership principles. Takes them forever to turn around hiring because they insist on hiring the right candidate and use people who are ridiculously time constrained to do it - meanwhile all round them teams are bleeding and working round the clock.

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.
