      Pros

      Some really smart people there that will push you to be better.

      Cons

      In infrastructure there is no work/life balance. Even with overseas teams taking the nights, on call load was too much, maybe one truly free weekend per month. Management kept promising fixes to this while doing nothing about it.

      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.
