Pros

If you like to be contained by a big company, but at the same time being in the front line of fire, making bold decisions, connected to the business and needing to understand everything... this is your place.

Cons

Also, this is a double edge sword, demands of results and quality are high, so you need to give the best of yourself

Pros

I really like the people I work with. It's a bunch of college grads that are new to the city, so we go bowling every week, sometimes skiing during the weekends, and have a ps4 in our team area where we would sometimes take breaks. In terms of work, we all cooperate, and nobody works alone. If there is a guy left behind, there is always a mentor who helps. You also get paid a lot more than it looks like based on your stock. Thought I should give a positive review out since I like my job.

Cons

Being in a big company means you may not have the same experience as I do. Being in a big company also means you are more tied into business decisions from management rather than your own software decisions.
