Pros

Very smart people, decentralized and flat organization structure. Like a startup company with teams building out their own features like a small company. Very customer centric

Cons

long hours, minimal yearly salary increases, no cash bonus. Software Development engineers are required to be oncall which is touch for families

Pros

- The engineers here are the best I've ever worked with - Typically you have near complete ownership over projects you work on - People trust you to get your job done, and excessive oversight and micromanagement are rare

Cons

- Upper management changes frequently, and so do the priorities - Our equipment (laptops, monitors, etc) suck, and are frequently on a self-support model - There's a lot of different stuff going on around in the company and not very good communication, which leads to a lot of duplicated effort (more than should happen)
