Pros

Compensation is great! Nothing else for this section...

Cons

In my team, the load is mostly operational. No innovation or feature development. Pages, when you are Oncall, wakes you up almost every night multiple times :(

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.
