Pros

You learn a lot and build great skills that can take you anywhere. Large scale and get to benefit as a customer from expansion of offerings.

Cons

Rough and/or no work life balance with minimal benefits. Getting a promotion requires you working in a stretch position for 6+ months with no guarantees and no raises for years. Leadership suggests rotations to build experience over incentivizing employees. Nonexistent culture because you work too much and cant make it to simple events. Lack of internal team culture, very robotic to make intense leadership happy.

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.
