Pros

Depending on the team, you may be given a project that will really stretch you and accelerate your learning

Cons

You could burn out if you don't pace yourself. As a global company, you'll have co-workers in other time zones. Try to avoid being available all the time.

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.
