Pros

Good compensation Very structured progression and development and opportunities to progress and move roles.

Cons

People move roles all the time and it’s difficult to build relationships. Large percentage of internally developed employees are vocally anti-external candidates. Working hours are long and you’re expected to work early and late shifts in the week.

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.
