Pros

Learn a lot fast. You have to go the extra mile in every project and that helps you see and learn new aspects of a project every day.

Cons

Management is very political and at times blindsided to employees that have good judgement. Moving up in the ladder is not that easy, and at times it could be impossible.

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.
