Pros

Amazing team: My team is made up of a lot of new hires so we are all learning together. People want to help just as much as they want to get ahead. The team looks out for one another and tries to have fun while doing it. Interesting and challenging work: Most of the teams I have come across are very interesting to me. Each has its own challenges and learning curves. Very acceptable hours: If you get your work done, you are not expected to do more. Other than oncall which is quite infrequent, your hours are the same as any other job. Great benefits: For a job that you can be hired for right out of university, the benefits are phenomenal.

Cons

Very team dependent: The only negative is that your entire work experience is dependent on the team you are placed on. While this does rely on luck, most teams I have come across are all very interesting and made up of great people.

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.
