There are lots of varying opportunities, some really smart people, and the problems they are trying to solve are huge.

Cons

The management, lack of office space, the management, poorly executed products, insular teams that are so overwhelmed their first instinct is to push back on any request, lack of communication, lack of QA, no real documentation of any kind, and lack of a standard development platform.

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.
