Pros

the ability to impact your business quickly and in an action oriented way smart talented people; some of the smartest I've ever worked with good benefits

Cons

constant competition breeds need for everyone to want to be 'right' in the room and be the first person with the answer stack ranking of employees during review time weeding out good or great employees because not everyone can have a great review statistically lack of expectation for management to actually do a good job managing. Working out issues is the employees problem 24 x7 workload

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.
