Pros

Manager focuses on SDEs career growth Team follows good engineer practises and lot of senior engineers to learn from Internal wikis and video website to grow as an engineer Fair compentation and follows standard hiring practises so you will get to work with smart engineers and less chance of miss hire(as I see Amazon do fire)

Cons

Maybe little work and learning balance should be there, as most of the time you have tools to solve your problem As most of the operation tasks not involve engineering

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.
