Pros

Awesome place to learn and grow rapidly. Great benefits, including parental leave.

Cons

Lack of boundaries between work and life are par for the course here. You have to set and enforce your own balance in order to stay here and not get burnt out, which many will see as not doing enough. Compensation does not keep up with market value if you stay longer than a couple years.

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.
