Pros

It looks good on a resume. The visibility of the company may allow you to catch the eye of recruiters in the future.

Cons

The management is arrogant and unprofessional, the seem unqualified. There is such a strong emphasis put on the engineering side of the business, and none on the biz dev side. They do not understand what a sales person needs to be successful, if you are interviewing for a "sales" what they really want is a telemarketer.

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.
