Pros

The people are fantastic, many talented people there, and a lot of opportunity to learn new and exciting technologies

Cons

The pay for developers was as much as 10k below average, and management took very little interest in developer career growth. Some teams had senior developers and tech leads who took interest in the junior and mid-level developers they worked with, but while it was "official" policy that they spend time helping the developers, this was not always followed or given much focus at all.

Remote and flexible. Good culture from higher up but team morale is down.
