Pros

Competitive pay, great benefits, good team, good environment. I was concerned after reading some of the articles criticizing the culture but I have not experienced any of the negativity and open hostility I read about.

Cons

The culture is truly self-serve. Be prepared to spend countless hours reading wikis that are often out of date or not relevant. It can be very difficult to get your bearings depending on who your mentor and manager are. Overall, this is manageable but you just have to expect a good bit of floundering in the initial ramp up and on-boarding.

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.
