Pros

Truly an amazing and innovative place to work. I have had nothing short of joy working with my team and the highly scalable tools that the infrastructure provides. It can be quite the load of work at times, but you are always encouraged to automate and innovate--even when that means tearing out the old stuff you don't like. The whole world is your playground here.

Cons

Workload can be high, but it is manageable--they are very considerate about work-life balance, and offer easy VPN access when working from home is necessary.

Work Life Balance can be better, and you have to go through each level completely before you move onto the next level.
