      Pros

      There are tons of smart people, something that I really missed when I left. Also, the company definitely takes a long-term focus, which is another thing that I sorely missed when I went to a company that was focused on the extremely short-term

      Cons

      Relatively long hours, but it really depends on the team and manager. The benefits are pretty crappy compared to other technology companies. Also, people are seen as somewhat expendable since so many people line up at the door to get hired.

      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.
