Pros

I love the growth opportunities, and the ability to make my job my own. So long as it s safe and legal we are free to give it a shot. The pay is pretty good and the stock options are doing amazing! I have been able to perform well and feel that I have been recognized and am respected by leadership and my peers.

Cons

I hate living my life feeling that I only put in a 12 hour day and I should be doing more. Always on call, always behind. I feel like the walk of shame after leaving a 10 hour day once a week to get my kids from the after school program.

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.
