Pros

You work with awesome people. You cover a lot of territory and end up taking on a lot of responsibility. This works great for some people. Personally, I love it. The expectations are high, so there's pressure and some stress, but it's the best place to learn and grow your skills. The pay is awesome. Time off is meh. Health coverage is pretty good. My manager and team have been pretty nice. Most people I've met here have been pretty solid. Some people are curt and straight business, but that's fine with me

Cons

High pressure and lot of responsibility. Ends up being long days. Might average 45 hours a week

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.
