Pros

Focused on the customer and creating a good expereince for them. There are opportunities to work outside US if you want to spend some time working at elements outside US. Most of the survivors are an intelligent group that try to believe in what they are doing.

Cons

Most manager micromanage the small stuff and do not provide any strategic vision. Way to much turnover as people leave or move to avoid the bad managers. Poor compensation levels and you have to compete with your co-workers for any raises you get as raises are capped. If you are not one of the favored folks you can forget about being promotoed.

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.
