Pros

Generally a lot of freedom to control your tech and destiny. Compensation is strong and if you're a top performer they WILL keep it that way.

Cons

Very much a CYA and "who you know" culture. If you know the right people they will collaborate with you and help you succeed. Otherwise they will just block you and make your life miserable

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.
