Pros

Fast paced, competitive environment that only wants the most ambitious employees

Cons

They talk about growing talent but they are more interested in hiring talent, burning them out then asking them to move on. This is not a place to plan a long-term career unless you are in a protected position such as a Senior Manager or above.

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.
