      Pros

      * Things happen quickly. Very distributed org/teams/products * Everyone is an owner with freedom to own and invent * Full of opportunities to work on exciting projects/new technologies, making a big impact and growing career quickly (as long as you want to)

      Cons

      * Frugality can get in the way of motivating employees * Work-life balance can be a struggle in some teams but it varies team with team

      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.
