Pros

Develops your leadership skills and ownership. Good technology, smart people.

Cons

Management just care about hitting the deadlines. If you want to be a good company's slave, go for it. If you want to be promoted within a reasonable timeframe, have fun working super late unless you want to also work weekends.

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.
