Pros

They pay you a lot because the rest of the job is pretty terrible.

Cons

I didn't understand what "soul-sucking" felt like until I spent a year here. I'm sure there are people that could thrive in the environment but by the time I left I felt like just a shell of my former self.

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.
