Pros

*They'll pay you a lot relative to the work. *You are given stock in the company if you stay 2 years. Each year after the second, you will receive stock. *They will pay for two years at a community college (conditions apply). *Satisfactory job if you are working while you are a student.

Cons

*The low level supervisors were bigoted and racist when I was there. *The management was also to a lesser degree. *There is no chance of advancement unless you are someone's drinking buddy or well-liked. *You will not learn any transferable skills and nothing you do here will impress on a résumé. *If you already have college degree and an education, it will mean nothing as a tier-1 associate (grunt).

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.
