Pros

Engineers are really smart and very responsible and deserve more respect

Cons

Culture is really bad. Manager acts like the king and show no appreciation. I saw manager fire people on the same day after tiny disagreement with employee. It's generally highly competitive and people back-stab to get ahead. It's not a good place for introvert people as your achievement won't be credited to you.

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.
