      Pros

      Great People. Lots of interesting projects and teams to join. I never had to deal with politics (although I'm sure my managers did).

      Cons

      On-call support and development environments that take an eternity to setup. Sometimes it seemed like I could never get anything done between configuring a new service or dealing with on-call support.

      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.
