Pros

The pay is reasonable and customers are treated great. Works hard to satisfy customers needs and wants.

Cons

Unfair to long time employees and majority of managers are fresh out of college instead of investing in current experienced employees.

Pros

Great environment and team members. Challenging problems to solve and you get to own the entire end to end chain. some people see this as a burden I see it as valuable experience. Close to the city makes it very easy to access people and places. Work on problems that need to scale

Cons

Can be a little disorganized at times due to the sheer growth of the company but I think they are doing a good enough job considering.

Pros

Smart people, interesting projects IF you are lucky enough to be on that team.

Cons

A lot of management overhead and redundancy, a lot of NIH syndrome, and a LOT of stress due to every engineer doing on-call. On a large team this might mean one week out of every 3 months.. On a small team it might mean one out of every 3 weeks.
