Pros

Smart people. Good money. Fast paced. Many opportunities to learn.

Cons

They will burn you out. If you are lucky enough to get a good manager, you will feel happy and excited while they burn you out. If you have a bad manager, you will resent it every step of the way. But burnout is a given. A 50 hour work week is considered a minimum in many teams. And if you aren't checking your email first thing in the morning and throughout the evening, you won't be able to keep up.

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.
