Pros

Lots to learn, if you can make the time

Cons

Very hierarchical and dominated by PMs. Mid-level management, in-flighting, dog-eat-dog politics is worse than any other Fortune 50 places I've seen. Highly stressful and certainly not worth sticking around for the money.

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.
