Pros

My role is SDE in retail system and I deal with both financial and technical problems. It is easy to see the impact of my work and gives me a sense of self-importance and accomplishment.

Cons

Communication with stakeholders takes up a good portion of my time. Sometimes I cannot focus on tech projects because of this.

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.
