Pros

Work hard. Learn a lot. Get better and then raise the bar again to work harder. It's a place that will push you to grow and provide feedback on your journey.

Cons

It's a place where smart people go to feel bad about themselves. You are in a pool of amazing folk. Everyone around you is exceptional in some way.

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.
