      Pros

      - Good pay overall - Smart coworkers - The work does not completely suck. There are times where you grind, and times where it's chill.

      Cons

      - Few perks - If you aren't interested in the product you're working on, the work itself can feel quite boring. - Oncall can be unpleasant. - Mandated 3 days in office per week regardless of location relative to teammates.

      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.
