Pros

Fast paced environment, innovative thinking, very smart and talented employees, compensation is fair, your ability to learn and grown if infinite because the company is continuously growing

Cons

Leadership sits in ivory towers and does not understand the level of work required to complete tasks, promotions are extremely difficult to come by and a very tough culture to collaborate with since all your peers will be high performing, smart and very successful which means everyone is out for themselves to move upwards

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.
