      Pros

      Good salary and smart people. Never a boring day. Lots to learn and opportunity to work on complex systems. Made lots of good connections. Lots of good stories about problem solving and making meaningful contributions.

      Cons

      Very stressful and long hours. Organization-wide goals have questionable motivations. Tight deadlines and out of touch leadership. Worse benefits than other companies. Strong push for AI that results in justifying bad decisions.

      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.
