Pros

Great place, fast pace of development, always something new to learn/take on. Very flat leadership hierarchy within the teams, much less red tape than i have seen at similarly large companies.

Cons

Have to pick up new skills quickly, lots of resources to help, but you still have to come up to speed on new technology very quickly. Internal tools provide alot of training, however sometimes the training is not up to date with current developments. all in all a pretty minor complaint!

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
