Pros

Plenty of work to be done. Lots of interesting, fun people to engage with. Fascinating problems to solve, I get to take on as much work as I want. Note, this means that I have to understand what workload I can manage, and negotiate that with my manager. This is a company where you need to where your big kid panties and speak up if things aren't right.

Cons

Management capability is really uneven (I've had both some of the best and worst managers of my 30+ year career). Plenty of work can mean too many distractions to focus well. Plenty of vision, but not enough guidance/coaching on the priorities.

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.
