      - Smart colleagues - Interesting challenges

      Cons

      - Zero work life balance - No help from peers - Difficult onboarding - You will feel like an outsider till you spend at least 2 years in an established org. - If you're not familiar with the team tech stack, be ready to sacrifice weekends.

      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.
