      Pros

      Bright and hardworking engineers, good pay, top of the line computer equipment, fancy new skyscrapers with great views. Looks great on a resume.

      Cons

      Small and insular teams driven by top-down management. Can feel lonely and predictable.

      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.
