- Strong culture - Many teams are distributed so relocation is not always needed

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy. If you want to get promoted, you have to very intentionally find projects to show visibility and write unnecessary documents

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.
