      Pros

      Lots of growth potential; Decentralized organization give freedom to teams to define their processes; Encourage and reward pro-activeness and drive; Surrounded by highly intelligent and effective colleagues; SDE have a lot of power and works full stack; Vancouver location a lot more relaxed and balanced culture compared to HQ; One of the best compensation in the city

      Cons

      Decentralized means your experience will be based heavily on your team and manager; Lack of structure and training, you are expected to be advocate for yourself; SDE have to do on-call operational duty.

      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.
