Pros

Very stimulating environment with a lot of very smart folks. Work/life balance is surprisingly good. Lots of opportunities for growth and exposure to some awesome new technologies and platforms.

Cons

Not a con, but the day to day flow is very fast paced with frequently shifting priorities. You have to be able and prepared to deal with a lot of ambiguity in your projects. Don't expect things to be handed to you on a platter - you will need to dig in constantly to get the most out of everything you do, and to deliver your tasks on time.

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.
