      Pros

      Smart people. Lots of work to do. Being in Seattle the salary looks good. Stock options are decent.

      Cons

      Darwanian culture. You have to be good at arguing and have to really shout your way into things if you really wanna succeed. There is nothing call work life balance. They just make you work.

      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.
