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.
