      Pros

      Great Pay Flexible hours Potentially interesting projects (depending on team) You will learn a lot

      Cons

      extreme bureaucracy, people constantly quitting, aggressive deadlines (usually at the expense of quality software development), poor internal tools, operational burdens/tech debt Its not anything near as bad as the infamous NYT article, but it is pretty bad for a lot of other reasons

      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.
