* You get to work with some really smart people * The company's culture and values (Leadership Principles) are not just lip-service. * A lot of business processes help improve me as an employee * Decisions are data driven

Cons

* The stack racking process is archaic and forces people to be potentially penalized for good work. * Depending on the team you join, work/life balance can be tough

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.
