Pros

Lots of smart, driven people. Good pay. Interesting day to day work and complex challenges.

Cons

Start-up behaviors and “moving fast” can lead to tech debt. Work/Life balance has to be driven by the employee’s boundaries.

Pros

Working with one of the best minds around. In-depth knowledge on a particular technology that makes u attain mastery onto it. Great opportunities to collaborate with cross functional teams. Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Overwhelming and too complicated resources/processes to get a single small thing done. May end up spending much time for all small things which will create pressure on tasks which are more important and necessary. This ultimately disrupts work life balance. Growth is very limited in terms of lateral movement in the organisation, unless you have an idea which turned all minds upside down. Round the clock schedule can be challenging to deal with. If you are coming from a smaller organisation, might have difficulties in understanding what’s happening!!

Pros

lots of good benefits, phone bill paid/lunch stipend/good health, vision and dental insurance, people eager to help

Cons

There seems to be a lot of work and stress, so this job would be for those wanting to push themselves and create challenges rather than those seeking a chill and good paying job
