Cons

- Prime is not free - Discount is 10% up $1000 - Endless managerial tasks that will take you beyond 50+ hours a week to complete. 48 hours a week is the minimum. - Everything happens on the fly. Most days you end up firefighting the whole day.

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.
