Pros

A lot of opportunities around - eventually anyone can find something that is good for him and variety of locations is fantastic as well. It's really cool that company started to promote the culture of internal transfers between different locations.

Cons

The situation in the team mostly depends on your manager - there are good teams (where people want to work) and there are bad teams. Internal transfers is not always an option - if you have a good relationship with your manager there is no need to a transfer, but if the relationship is bad it could be difficult to get a good review for the transfer.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
