Pros

Great complex and ambiguous projects, Get chance to deliver big projects at mid level. You can find more technical challenges, you learn how to deliver and work at difficult situations.

Cons

Slow promotions in tech, 50-60% of SDM's are not from non tech background and their lack of technical depth makes difficult to work with.

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.
