Pros

There are plenty of intelligent and driven co-workers, so you learn a lot from being there. Work-life balance will highly depend on where you work, customer needs, and your supervisor.

Cons

Depending on your life stage (e.g., single, married, kids), hours can feel demanding, so ask about it during your interview. Folks focus on building great products but fail to document and think about ongoing sustainment. Given the high turnover (people move on to work on other great products), the lack of documentation makes it challenging for the successor.

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.
