Pros

There are some interesting learning opportunities and they give a lot of resources to build things (compute / storage on AWS).

Cons

The culture has become very toxic towards white males. In our org of 100 people they make up less than 20% of employees yet write more than 90% of the code. Most of them are also not in the US and therefore get paid half as much for doing most of the work.

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.
