Pros

Customer orientation and innovation. Customers love our site and they keep coming back. It really pays off when you see a ton of compliments from customers about a product/offering. Also, having smart and driven people working around you helps develop your thinking on different aspects of the task.

Cons

Due to extreme detail orientation and micromanagement, people are continously stressed. Every task is urgent and cannot wait, hence making your day-to-day life miserable. People do not respect your schedule, priorities or even health. Also people management/development is not prioritized, while everyone is more interested in getting the job done. It is very normal that you will come home with a headache and thinking about the lenghty to do list for the day after.

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.
