      Pros

      - Working with smart talented people - Solving challenging problems at scale only handled by few companies. - Good pay

      Cons

      - Some orgs have terrible work life balance - On-call can be troublesome at times when you get paged at inconvenient times. - Perks are few - Not many resources/ direction on how to grow your career. No levels in between SDE 2 to SDE 3 and getting promoted to SDE 3 takes time.

      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.
