      Pros

      Free banana in the office

      Cons

      Demanding, low pay compared to other FAANG. Lots of bureaucracy, blocks work getting done. Managers spend time on god knows what, everyone is playing 6d corporate chess.

      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.
