Pros

- Mobility is encouraged, engineers can switch teams at very high frequency (I will not advice that though, as per me engineers should try a team or role for at least six months) - Deliveries and results are appreciated, executors can grow easily and just verbal claimers cannot survive here - Hands-on career tracks are deep, software engineers can grow all the way up to distinguished engineer e.g. James Gosling

Cons

- Engineers or Managers looking for a limited hour job may not get so. Work is at times demanding though work life balance is encouraged and possible.

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.
