Pros

It varies from team to team but I had the opportunity to work on some amazing stuff that made me learn a lot about scale and infrastructure that goes along with such a huge eco-system. Another thing that surprised me was how smart a lot of the folks working here actually are.

Cons

Work-life balance isn't that great. Managers are nice and friendly you do get peer pressure to work longer than usual in order to generate the same output as others. Again, working with smart and motivated people who work a lot is both a pro and a con I guess.

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.
