      Pros

      Never bored Learn a lot Quality engineers, especially backend A million orgs mean a million cultures

      Cons

      Some orgs are stagnant and you will work on 10 year old code Some orgs are so product driven that the engineers are never hear The push for product erodes quality The push for product comes from stack ranking an a constant need to deliver. this can create a lot of conflict.

      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.
