      Pros

      Great Learning Curve Exposure to latest tools and technologies Ownership of the work Great projects to work on (Will be team dependent though) Self-learning is highly endorsed Challenging environment to work in Good software development principles followed Team members are helpful and approachable Good compensation Nice prospect of growth

      Cons

      Work Life balance takes a hit as you are overwhelmed by the amount of work. On-call (a weekly operational maintenance rotation) is hectic. Total ownership of work can be at times frustrating.

      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.
