Pros

It’s amazing to work with world-class engineers on problems that challenging in technical scope and scale, and delivering these improvements always feels super rewarding.

Cons

I wish there was a bigger push from upper manager to lower for experimenting non radically innovative stuff. It’s easier to do this in other orgs, but in retail it’s very difficult to follow up on a crazy idea and make it a reality, because of constant pushes from product.

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.
