Pros

- Literally any field or niche you want to explore is here - Very easy to connect with other teams and orgs for tips and projects - Pay is generally higher than average (YMMV)

Cons

- Leadership. Specifically, dumb "culture" decisions conducted over the course of 12 -24 months that cause employees to lose trust in the leaders making these decisions - Cult-like culture of Leadership Principles - Work-life balance/ harmony is lacking for many teams - Stack-ranking for employee evaluations is capricious and overall harmful

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.
