Pros

Good place to work when you are fresh out of high school,a fun environment,meet a whole lot of people from different works of life.........

Cons

Long hours on your feet,short breaks and Mandatory overtime at short short notice.favoritism is also a huge turn off,if you not one of the favorites then you are going to be stuck doing the same thing forever and also there is nothing like seniority in there.You have people that just started with no experience been trained to carry out higher responsibility over you that is well experienced cause you are not one of the favorites

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.
