Pros

You are surrounded by some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Had frequent meetings with a mentor who understood my learning styles and helped me progress to the next level. The culture is filled with selflessness and the engineering org is unified.

Cons

The base salaries aren't the highest but the equity grants are competitive.

Pros

Probably the best company culture I have ever experienced. Chill people who care about what they do and are willing to collaborate. I rarely get paged or am asked to work crazy hours (although this isn't the same across all teams). Good experience for those interested in getting into DevOps; you will probably do everything from writing software to deploying, managing, and monitoring it.

Cons

Always too much work to do and never enough time to do it. Management prefers to buy stock back rather than reinvesting in the business. Salaries are not top tier. Not the most exciting in terms of innovation and technology. Leadership has been lacking in product and technical vision. A lot of what we do is just keeping our existing tech stack running.
