Pros

Pay is decent and you can access it early.

Cons

Horribly lazy operations manager and horrible senior leadership. There was no effort put into my development. Really bad work life balance too. Working 11.5 - 12 hours a night. Culture is pretty bad too and its difficult to change.

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.
