Pros

Fast paced, complex, learning lots, big teams, doing cool things can be fun. Lots of opportunities to develop others.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy, exploitative of salaried workers, get ready to work 50-70 hours per week of the most intense and compressed work weeks (rivals intensity of banking/consulting fields). Comp is low and doesn't get much better as you promote. Fewer opportunities to work with other smart people at your level.

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.
