Pros

Otherwise it's a decent company to work at

Cons

Lied about the job details during the hiring process. Turned down other offers and moved halfway across the country to find out that it's a different job than what they told me. My interests/skills were largely irrelevant for the positions meaning I'm unprepared and essentially wasting time with regards to my career.

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.
