Pros

Smart people, big opportunities for growth and accomplishment, decent compensation. I'm enjoying the impactful work I get to do.

Cons

Fast moving competitive workplace, requires independence, motivation, an ability to learn quickly, and the ability to be vocal about your ideas to be successful. I get the sense employees are always expected to be moving up, so if you're the type of person that wants to punch the clock and put in your 40 hrs, with no desire to grow and advance you may have a difficult time depending on your team culture and management.

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.
