Pros

I had great leaders who empowered me to take ownership over my space and drive the direction. The team of engineers and designers I worked with were sharp, had a strong sense of ownership and advocated for the customer.

Cons

The challenge with ownership is that when things go wrong, you will be in the limelight. It can often feel like your days are event driven.

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.
