      Pros

      Get to work with some great people day to day (mostly team members and manger; higher than that is questionable).

      Cons

      Leadership is so focused on the stock price that employees are nothing but an operating expense to them. Performance and tenure mean nothing - you could still be laid off at the tip of a hat.

      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.
