Pros

Great opportunity to learn and get involved with work that would be hard to access at other companies. The scale of impact is huge, your time here will be a great resume builder. Also, lots of smart, hardworking people to learn from, and a powerful central ethos about doing the right thing for the customer. I've run into fewer self-serving people here than I've met at other companies of similar stature. Pay can be good, depending on your RSUs and how the stock price is moving.

Cons

Depending on your team, it could be chaotic, with constantly shifting priorities and no long term vision to work backward from. Lots of frustration, confusion, and long hours to compensate for the lack of organization. Not a lot of perks or flexibility on corporate policy. You really are just a cog in a wheel here, and I don't even think our CEO and S-Team would mind me saying that.

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.
