      Pros

      - Incredibly talented and driven people - Non-existent politics - You learn a LOT every day

      Cons

      - "NO" work/life balance. It is a great company to be in when you are in your 20s and can spend a lot of extra hours - Every mistake gets highlighted in the review - No credit given for going out of your way to do something (because that is expected) - Very poor (read non existent) perks - Very high churn (within one year I was the third most senior member of my team). This means that you have to constantly pitch in to mentor/train new hires (mostly new graduates)

      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.
