Pros

strong company culture and values (not just writing on the wall), openness to change and new ideas, many learning opportunities, great colleagues (bright and nice), unique and effective meeting culture, competitive pay, flexibility (in many areas, but not all), always innovating and changing (opportunity to be involved in shaping workflows and processes)

Cons

very rigid reporting structure that produces disproportionate effort in some cases, certainly no 9to5 job culture (but flexibility to manage workload/-times and private life), constant change means structures are often missing or in development (negative if you're the type of person who needs stability)

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.
