Pros

Growth, good compenstation, great place to learn. Name recognition when moving on never hurts either, I received a pretty outstanding offer and the competition for the next level doesn't appear too fierce. As you get further up, the peope surrounding you get smarter and smarter until it's almost intimidating!

Cons

Very little initial training with lots of "tribal knowledge" to get through and somehow learn. The company is extremely data-criven, which allows them to make decisions, but sometimes it seems that people can get lost in all that information. The hours can be a bit tedious too. 60 hours is not uncommon even during medium-busy times.

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.
