      Pros

      Lots of potential to learn about software at a very large scale. Insights on complex build and deployment systems. Advanced usage of cloud technologies in AWS. Good stock plans.

      Cons

      Career growth in terms of promotions is very slow. Very few benefits. Only two teams in SJO, so if you want to move to a different team, the only real option is to leave the country as an internal transfer.

      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.
