      Pros

      Highly customer focused. Work done by each individual has immediate and positive impact on the customer. Teaches you to be independent and adapt fast to changing requirements.

      Cons

      Too much technical debt due to focus on delivering features over reducing operational burden. On-call duties can sometimes interfere with personal life.

      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.
