Pros

Work with empowered, very smart people. Lots of interesting technology. Individual groups have a lot of autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions.

Cons

Support of the tier-1 systems can be exhausting at times. Hundred of groups with lots of freedom sometimes creates duplicate efforts and mismatched goals.

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.
