Pros

+ If you are highly motivated developer, you would love the freedom you receive here. Almost no bureaucracy. (Being a big company there might be some exceptions but this is been my experience over 4 years). If you are stuck in a team with legacy stuff, or work you don't like, moving is kind of easy (you would have to prepare for interviews though). + Very open env - you could talk to anyone if you have an issue.

Cons

- Full round interviews if you want to move to different team/org. - Oncall, esp if team is small could be taxing on you.

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.
