      Pros

      One of the best places to learn and watch as things get done. Very talented people. Flexible hours and good ownership model.

      Cons

      Sometimes the place gets very bureaucratic. Frugal bordering on Misery leads to a bitter taste at the end of day. Admin and HR can do their jobs better.

      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.
