Pros

Fast growth. Some great managers. Always something interesting to work on, with the ability to move around to other teams, languages, and technologies. Encouraged conference attendance. Beautiful and convenient office locations. Office amenities targeted based on location (this is a plus and minus).

Cons

They hire nationally, but benchmark locally. Average compensation. Below average PTO. Working from home/remote rare or exceptional.
