Pros

There's something new to learn every day. It's a target-rich environment that encourages everyone to make a contribution to the success of your peers and customers. You will never be bored here.

Cons

It's a fast-paced, challenging environment. Every day can't be rainbows and unicorns. It's sometimes hard to keep your focus on long-term goals while fighting tactical battles. But the rewards (monetary and otherwise) are worth staying the course.

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.
