      Pros

      You will learn a lot, especially if you are in the beginning of your career. You will have the chance to learn about the bigger picture and will have a say in deciding the future of the team. You can even propose ideas targeting specific problems that you have observed. If the management likes it you will get to work on it.

      Cons

      Work, work, work. Not many company activities or perks Frugal to a fault. You don't even get two big monitors!!!

      Pros

      Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

      Cons

      Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

      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.
