Pros

10% employee discount on first $1000 dollars spent.

Cons

Don't know where to begin. Let's see: Insecure and incompetent manager, focused on his own survival-get rid of anyone who might make him look less experienced or anyone who challenged his way. Manager took others work and used it as his own Slow and painful build experience Middle & upper management, a bunch of "yes men". Oddly enough, no women in upper management...hmm...Really? No one very passionate about what they are doing - people in in the group were either unhappy or pissed off, but not passionate.

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.
