Pros

You will learn a lot, enhance your existing skill set and acquire new.

Cons

Everything is an urgent fire drill request. Friday afternoons at 3pm are the norm for last minute, end-of-day requests. Work is micro-managed, changing targets and objectives which makes it impossible to "complete a task."

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.
