Pros

Awesome coworkers and management, and great opportunity to work in an high standard and multicultural place.

Cons

Hard to get promoted, you have to play the "generate data points" game to get promoted, otherwise you'll be stuck forever.

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.
