Pros

smart people, new technologies, entreprenurial spirit

Cons

too much work, too little appreciation and recognition, unequal work-life balance, extreme favoritism (and I wasn't one of the favorites!), lots of brown-nosing required (not one of my talents!) management's truth is the ultimate truth--there is no overcoming it, overall the worst work experience of my 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.
