      Pros

      You will get to learn and work on some most complex systems and will get to work with smart people. Internal transfers were easy.

      Cons

      It all depends on team and manager. Some teams have high oncall and your life will be gone. If your manager is not very good (good is not enough), your career will go for a toss. Choose team and manager wisely because manager is like the captain of your boat and it is a race.

      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.
