Pros

Money Autonomy Challenge The People

Cons

Management is generally terrible and the majority of their decisions are made by short-term gain. They are willing to sacrifice their workforce if it means it will make the stock price go up short-term, and they seem to very blatantly take advantage of the fact they can easily replace workers, even if it's objectively the wrong move.

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.
