Pros

- Salaries are good for market, but heavily driven by equity vs cash. - Really smart people and they really live the amazon dream. - You can really learn how a world class company operates at scale.

Cons

- Everything is structured, there is nothing entrepreneurial about the company. - Playbooks are set for everything. - No room to innovate or propose - Unless you have an MBA from the best programs you don't grow.

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.
