Pros

Good pay and benefits, inclusive work culture, easy to switch roles and teams.

Cons

Growth depends on how good your relationship is with the manager, but that may be the case at most organizations. Pay degrades are the first 4 years. Pay highly speculative on the stock price

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.
