      Pros

      Interesting problems to solve, latitude (sometimes) to solve them.

      Cons

      Leadership doesn't own the problems that continue to build mountains of avoidable tech debt and often makes it the problem of individual contributors after the fact.

      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.
