Pros

Business trying to innovate and some ideas are great.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture among colleagues to prove they are better than their teammates due to survival of strongest view point of Jeff B. This rises all sorts of corrupt behavior, teammates fabrication of lies or exaggerated claims to hurt their own team mate. Inside a team you form your clique to support and others to blame. Good place to learn politics.

Pros

Work-life balance if you find the right executive to support. Lots of room for growth and exploring opportunities within the company

Cons

It's not really a con in my opinion, but it might be to you if you aren't up for it. You have to work hard and do a great job. Poor performers stick out like a sore thumb.

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.
