Pros

This is a place to get experience fast. Hiring process is excellent. Lots of smart people. Reasonable leadership principles.

Cons

Training is a joke. Planning is abundant but almost useless. Managers are vindictive. Zero transparency at all. "Frugal" mentality ruins most things.

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.
