Pros

It's easy to change teams.

Cons

The initial team was not honest in terms of workload and the fact that they were overloaded and doing more DevOps than development. After a few months I changed teams and the dev situation improvement significantly, though I did not like the fact that the company overall moved part of my equity to a later date, and that some upper management care more about saving themselves by pushing bad decisions to other teams.

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.
