Pros

- Good pay and benefits - Great to work from home - Cool projects to work on - Lot's of growth opportunities - Good people

Cons

- Restructures written on the wall of every domain - Silicon Valley mentality (I realize some might want this but it's very difficult if you're not at the level of Californian engineers) - Culture of high stress. I'm not working late nights quite often in order to achieve deliverables. I am interested in growth but not at the hand of mental distress.

Pros

The team is super smart and everyone knows their stuff well. If you see an opportunity, you can take it and do it. Flat structure, less authority means you can experiment and do as much as you want.

Cons

There's not much of an onboarding, so you have to figure things out. It can feel very sink or swim. Also, you have to work across many different time zones as well, because the team is global. Also, people have very short fuses if you don't pick things up quickly or not as smart as them.
