      Pros

      Pros: Opportunity to work on massive-scale systems (IAM) that impact millions. The "Day 1" culture encourages ownership and the technical bar for peers is very high, which accelerates personal growth.

      Cons

      Cons: The work-life balance can be challenging depending on the team's on-call rotation. The internal tooling is powerful but has a steep learning curve.

      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.
