Pros

Nice culture, people seem to enjoy and do their jobs out of passion rather than obligation. It pays quite well, including lots lots of benefits (insurance, pension schemes 401 etc)

Cons

Maybe the fact that you have to travel a lot and that is a bit out of purpose for an SDE. However, everything else is fantastic, from the learning opportunities to the great culture of this company.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
