Pros

Cutting edge technology and insight into the future of retailing and data storage. Fast paced. Clean, modern offices with good lunchrooms (if you have the patience to stand in long lines!) and near-downtown location.

Cons

A huge, disjointed company, where the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, and so sometimes teams are working at cross purposes against each other, without even knowing it. Office spaces so packed in and noisy it is hard to think. Very difficult to get conference rooms for meetings or quiet time. Stack ranking system creates a dog-eat-dog atmosphere, so people who are successful here get really good at blowing their own horn.

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.
