Pros

-Very challenging problems to solve -Very intelligent co-workers with high work ethic -Great resume builder

Cons

-Competitive environment where marketing/branding your impact and politic-ing are necessary to not be on the bottom for stack-ranking. -leadership is pretty transactional, so if mentorship is something you value probably not the place -raises have been mostly non-existent

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.
