      Pros

      Coming straight out of college with more theory than hands on exp, you will learn a lot here in a short time.

      Cons

      Corporate cesspool - leadership principals, stack ranking (confirmed by manager), oncall nightmare, PIP/focus quota. Poor internal tools that won't check off job reqs at other companies.

      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.
