Pros

Awesome coworkers. Everyone is passionate about technology and makes a point to follow best practices. Leadership truly cares about employees and customers. Compensation is excellent. The work environment is fun and exciting without being all-consuming and punishing - the work/life balance is very good. The company likes trying out new technologies. Even entry-level employees can make a huge impact and have real agency over what they do. There is a great amount of horizontal mobility (even between completely different fields of work), and vertical mobility is very straightforward and satisfactory.

Cons

Working outside of the company headquarters means being a bit behind on internal company news at times.
