      Pros

      I hesitantly joined around a year ago. Hesitance based on public image. The pace is super fast AND there are many opportunities to slow it down to balance work/life... you just need to know how to take them. A lot of really smart people. Great tooling for quality of life for Software Engineers. Easy to push your own ideas up the ladder. Everyone seems very supportive about that.

      Cons

      Tons going on which results in a big learning curve. Lots of things and people to get to know

      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.
