Pros

Independence, you learn how to deal with ambiguity, there are endless opportunities for self-development, strong emphasis on leadership principles, focus on objective data can make any employee regardless of level be heard, great overall compensation

Cons

Managers are solely hired based on IC performance (lack leadership skills), the company has little to no interest in employee well-being, very limited contributions to society, very hierarchical (escalations can turn over well-planned roadmaps), CEO does not understand the balance between directing teams towards problems and making them sick and churn from stressful escalations

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.
