      Pros

      The company hires really smart people and create a great product that really focuses on the end user.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is pervasive through out the company. This appears come from the top down of diving deep. There appears to very little trust that the smart people they hire can make the right decisions.

      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.
