      Cons

      1. Virtually no perk. 2. Very stressful on-call/pager duty. 3. Very bad criteria for qualifying for green card processing (applicable to H1B visa holders) 4. Insignificant salary increment. 5. Frugality actually means being cheap and provide employees with cheap and inadequate hardware.

      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.
