Pros

Independent and end to end ownership to a team for given tech solution. There isn't much bureaucracy even with large organization size. It's pretty much like running like startups with advantage of big organization. Leadership principles take care of day-to-day noise that one would face otherwise. They provide common ground and yet encourage discordant views. One does learn a lot everyday with diverse and smart team mates following peculiar organization culture.

Cons

The distributed service oriented architecture is two edge sword. One team can fast pace being independent and yet stuck on other's dependency if the priorities of them do no align. There is concept of away team work but it does come with a price.

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.
