Pros

The pay is great as long as work is available. You get perks and discounts. They are always doing contests. The work is pretty straightforward. You know what to expect, and they motivate you with team meetings before shift starts.

Cons

I had to choose or decline a shift that started at 345 am and my home was an hour away. I was working 745-1145 and couldn't take the earlier shift because of kids. That sucked because I really enjoyed working there.

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.
