      Pros

      - tons of smart people - you get the chance to make high value and high impacting functionalities - people listens when you point out the right thing - you manage your own time

      Cons

      - there are lots of cruft. people moves fast but technical debt grows pretty fast. - it can be quite overwhelming (this might be an understatement) - can be quite tough if you're not used to the industry

      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.
