      Pros

      Culture is team dependent. I've worked on healthy and happy teams too

      Cons

      Found it difficult to grow. Not necessarily because it's fast paced but since its difficult to explore new technologies with aggressive timelines and the amount of work that is expected. Culture is very team dependent but in general it's a very competitive environment which only adds to feeling the need to deliver results asap vs deliver quality results. Leadership still expects quality too.

      Pros

      Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

      Cons

      Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

      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.
