Pros

Some well organized and refined processes that hold employees accountable, such as technical audits of customer data security, annual performance review processes, etc.

Cons

No work life balance, over worked, over burdened, burn out is very common. Culture encourages confrontation, some leaders thrive on conflict and cruelty. Teams try to work so quickly that common mistakes and short sighted decisions are common, often a reactive environment.

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.
