      Pros

      * Good salary * Leadership principles are for real * Native AWS development, lots of learning * Nice offices * Good internal structure (small teams, good planning, tech managers) * Nice perks (free coffee, food, beer, courses etc)

      Cons

      * Painful ops as we have to be oncall for a whole week every now and then * You are chained to internal tools and frameworks * You don't see a lot of promotions to senior positions, even for people with years of contributions

      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.
