Pros

You are part of a company that is really thinking out of the box and doing cool things. Compensation is very competitive.

Cons

NO WORK LIFE BALANCE! The culture is just that you work A LOT. The company doesn't take care of their employees. There's a lot of turnover and employees who are burnt out within 1 year. Tenure is usually 1 year. It seems like there isn't a lot of development for managers.

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.
