Pros

Pay is okay (company goal to be in 51 percentile for pay) Quality Company Room for learning if you can handle everything else

Cons

Terrible work life balance. Stop demanding your employees work 40-60hrs when it meets your needs. Health insurance is just okay but many jobs are very physically demanding. You don't feel like a human at the company, just a number.

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.
