Lots to learn. Colleagues are very smart and work hard. No politics. Startup like culture.

Not very nice for working mom. Oncall is hard too. Salary increase is very small. After 4 years, the compensation is not very attractive.

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.
