Pros

Work with smart, driven people, get paid extremely well, and for company growing at an amazing rate.

Cons

Cash-bonus (at hire) and stock grants all are structured to keep you here through thick and thin. Take risks/chances on stretch-assignments at your own risk -- your manager will not be there to support you when you come up short, even if he/she has bought into all your progress steps. All part of the shoot-the-messenger culture. HR is without a spinal, echoing whatever ego-driven conclusions your management group has.

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.
