      Pros

      Good technology, large scale, a lot of technical problems to solve, you will learn a lot

      Cons

      A lot of politics, there is no great acknowledgement of achievements, you have to deliver at every single moment in your life to reach a happy situation, work life balance is really bad and it's really hard to estimate the tasks cost

      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.
