      Pros

      Development team is great, nice, friendly, helpful. Access to all environments, very automated nearly stress free deployments.

      Cons

      Work life balance non existent, and most likely the more you work, the less well you do. Team is so good, it's difficult to even be in the top 50%, and if you aren't, it's not a very welcoming feeling (totally stupid, but that is the culture)

      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.
