Pros

The benefits such as insurance, stock, 401k, etc. are exceptional. The pay is also good and fair for the experience. Overall a great experience and a great place to grow.

Cons

The internal promotion process is pretty difficult and time consuming, don't expect to grow directly within one team or department. You have to go well above and beyond for a long time to get considered for promotion. The upside is everyone who gets promoted absolutely deserves it. The downside is you can't move up the ladder very quickly

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.
