Pros

- Supportive work environment - You learn a lot in a short time - Opportunity to work on a product millions of people use - You have the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the field

Cons

- Trajectory for growth is very unclear for this role, only opportunity is to transition into different role (if lucky enough to get it). Otherwise, there is only one promotion possible in this role. - Short-sighted leadership does not consider local situations and only works to appease shareholders. This lead to layoffs without consideration for individual situations. - Pay is low and considerable raises are only possible with promotions or role changes. - Benefits are minimal. Fruit basket and free hot drinks.

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.
