Pros

Lots of opportunities. Explicit cultural principles and tenets. CEO's ideas are true lessons everyone should hear and reason about.

Cons

Lack of ownership for problems that involve more than one team. Finding information internally is not trivial. Could have more perks, like other IT companies.

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.
