Pros

Huge good quality community. Good dev infrastructure , can spend more time in ideas and business specific coding

Cons

Development in teams closely related to business might not be a good experience. Decisions would be biased for the business and people are very frugal and obsessed with business.

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.
