Pros

First year salary is strong

Cons

You'll question how much anyone values your work, you'll question how valuable your work actually is, you'll never get a straight answer about what's expected from you, and you'll be pressured to use AI in ways that make you want to scream "wait, why is this AI?" if you can find the time to pause and realize how ridiculous your current set of requirements are

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.
