      Pros

      Met amazing people during my years. You are surrounded by very smart people and some good friends (including my managers)

      Cons

      Oncall duty can be a nightmare. The daily tasks are not so satisfying in terms of the documentation, tools and the work itself.

      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.
