Pros

Competitive pay. Great learning opportunities (they will work you to the ground).

Cons

Toxic environment. Colleagues are stack ranked against one another so they are incentivized to block you instead of enable you. Management is manipulative and carrot dangle through promo promises, only to let you go on a moment's notice.

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.
