Pros

Transparent Laws, Will help you build a habit of thinking critically based on data/facts (biggest Pro)

Cons

SDE owns everything, if you start saying this is not in my work scope they will point you a good leadership principle name: "Ownership". Tough to manage personal time in some teams because of long working hours

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.
