Pros

- Interesting, challenging work - You'll learn a lot and quickly - Some of the people you'll work with (absolute minority!) are geniuses and a pleasure to learn from

Cons

- Hiring bar is far too low - Short-term thinking - Company doesn't care about your wellbeing (comp/conditions) - Extremely toxic: people will take credit for other people's work/will not do any work that will not directly make them sound like heroes

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.
