Pros

Lots of great talent Interesting problem to solve Huge learning curve on both technical challenges and people management challenges Global team, work with people around the world very good for exposure in terms of career growth Good mentoring circle and lots of people open to share feedback

Cons

Hours are longer than standard Sometime expects to be available due to people in different timezone Communication from senior management could be more efficient Most team are in US focused timezone. Lots of activity fall outside of Australia Timezone. Employee benefit might have double standards, i.e. US vs non-US staff might have different treatment and compensation given the same level.

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.
