Pros

Working with incredibly smart people. If you are passionate and eager to learn from peers this is definitely pros. Bias in actions. Emphasis on customer and working backwards. Opportunities for internal transfer.

Cons

Oncall can be a bit taxing and can harm the work-life balance depending on the issue level that the team is experiencing.

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.
