      Pros

      Fast paced. Giving employees a fair amount of stock-based compensation. The company is still growing in general. I do like its "Just Do It" culture.

      Cons

      Not for real technology-centric engineers, unless you work in AWS space. Highly likely, you will be doubled up as a tech support as well. You need to deal with quite a bit of pager duties.

      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.
