      Pros

      All established company pros: * Things are in process. * Competent employees get valued. * High level (SDE 2 or more) get good compensation. * Adds a lot as a brand value to your resume.

      Cons

      * There is a kitchen politics regarding who get what rating. * Most of the system is well matured, doesn't provide sufficient opportunities to learn. * Hectic life balance- being on call sucks the life out of you.

      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.
