Pros

You will work with some extremely talented, very intelligent engineers. You get to work on large-scale, interesting problems, and you will develop a product you're proud of.

Cons

You will probably work harder here than you are used to. Also, you will be on a 24 hour oncall rotation, which can eat into your personal life.

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.
