      Pros

      - Rapid learning - Autonomy and opportunity to work on big projects - Supportive team - Organized development cycle - Got to work with modern web development technologies (GraphQL, TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, etc)

      Cons

      - Worked long hours to meet expectations (be prepared to consistently put in a little more than 8 hours a day during some periods) - Had very little time to actually deep dive into technologies due to having to meet rushed deadlines - Witnessed people being praised for getting important tasks done over the weekend - Oncall was 1 week at a time, every 3 weeks

      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.
