Pros

Good learning opportunity for new junior SDEs and those that want to learn more about building systems at large scale

Cons

Work is quite demanding and not for everyone, especially people who have a family outside of work. Oncall can be painful depending on the team.

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.
