Pros

The whole culture (guided by the leadership principles) expects and cultivates ownership in every employee. Nearly impossible to find "dead wood" (people just punching the clock) anywhere. Everyone is constantly learning.

Cons

Tons of super smart, highly driven individuals working to deliver results means the pace can be frenetic. It's easy to burnout if you don't figure out how to proactively manage your work/life harmony. This means having the backbone to say no sometimes. If you just let it go, you will be run over.

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.
