Pros

* Work with cutting-edge technology * Very talented and smart people * Little micro-managing * Good perks and environment to work in All in all, the atmosphere is great. It can sometimes require long hours but it never feels grueling; partly because the projects are interesting.

Cons

* Pay tends to be lower than industry average * Product roadmap and strategic planning often puts more pressure on engineers than necessary. This especially applies to canceled products that only serve as a time-waste that could've been better spent * Compute resources aren't as plentiful as it could be and hampers how fast things can get done

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
