      Pros

      You get to work on the latest technologies. Your code impacts millions of people directly. Lots of ownership and fast learning.

      Cons

      Middle management is weird. Very little focus on employee benefits. On call load can be a little too much. Attrition rate is high.

      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.
