Pros

You can develop yourself to whatever you want to be. With the right team, you can excel and have a happy and balanced life.

Cons

Recent top down mandates countering previous agreements have caused a loss of employee trust and have shown a lack of trust for 2-pizza teams to self govern. With the wrong team, growth means increasing how much unfulfilling toil you can handle.

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.
