Pros

Pay is good for SDE's

Cons

When I came back from surgery I was harshly reviewed. After that my manager planned a secret setup to bring my performance down. Even though I was about to complete my assigned work, he assigned multiple people to do my code reviews and as a result my task got delayed. I worked nights and weekends with members of my team to finish things on time but he still complained that I am late. I did wanted to consult a lawyer but didn't had the money and resources to do so. I left the company after 8 months of joining.

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.
