Pros

Very well defined leadership principles that set the tone as motivation for teams.

Cons

Despite being well defined, they can and are often misinterpreted. E.g. “Frugality” used as an excuse for being cheap.

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.
