Pros

* Good path for career development for proactive people * lots of opportunities to work on some very exciting products. * good opportunities for horizontal movement

Cons

* Work can be bogged down by too many processes. * There is a wide range of talent at the same seniority level * Workload can vary throughout the year and also depends a lot on the team but in general things move at a fast pace. * Nobody sees your value unless you point it out.

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.
