      Pros

      Awesome coworkers. Everyone is passionate about technology and makes a point to follow best practices. Leadership truly cares about employees and customers. Compensation is excellent. The work environment is fun and exciting without being all-consuming and punishing - the work/life balance is very good. The company likes trying out new technologies. Even entry-level employees can make a huge impact and have real agency over what they do. There is a great amount of horizontal mobility (even between completely different fields of work), and vertical mobility is very straightforward and satisfactory.

      Cons

      Working outside of the company headquarters means being a bit behind on internal company news at times.

      Pros

      Great place to grow and learn skills you might not get the chance to explore elsewhere. Decent pay and benefits for the valley. The company has a vision and a map for the course it wants to take. Execs are approachable and engaged in the day-to-day. People work both hard and smart. Very few prima donnas.

      Cons

      No real track for advancement - right place, right time seems to be the standard. It's no longer a start-up but not quite a full-fledged company, makes for growing pains and uncertainty.
