Pros

Tons of autonomy, customer obsession, investment in employees. Feels more like a startup than a large company, in a great way. The leadership principles (or core values) are valued all the way up and down the management chain. I've worked at plenty of places where this is just theatrics. But it is not the case here.

Cons

With autonomy and trust leads to a lot of teams building different systems. There's no standards, which is fantastic, but it can lead to a lot to wrap your head around.

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.
