Pros

Flexible and big international company .

Cons

Managers are not qualified to be managers; hence people management is terrible. Pay is bad if you are already an employee if you already work for them. So new hires will be paid a much higher amount. If you are a salaried employee, they will expect you to work extra hours (outside of your 8 hours workday) almost every day with no overtime payment.

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.
