Pros

The company is huge and it has a role for everyone and the company empowers people to thrive towards what they are passionate about! As Engineers you own your destiny and an abundance of approachable people at all levels in the company!

Cons

- Since the company is huge, there are too many processes to get a product out and I think its necessary for a company this big! - The RSU vesting cycle is tail heavy as in the majority of the RSUs vest towards the 4th year (its probably the strategy to retain people)

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.
