Pros

Benefits are excellent, as is the chance to really build and broaden your skillset. Unlimited access to free training courses, and frequent opportunities for passion projects and stretch goals. Support is readily available for problem solving.

Cons

Pay is not competitive for the level of skill and performance required. Raises do not match inflation, and new hires typically make more than the tenured associates training them. You are very much a cog in the machine, with little to no choice about which department you're moved to at a moment's notice, and limited upward mobility.

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.
