Pros

Frequent team activities, flexible working hours. Good management weekly feedback and yearly team feedback. Company encourages employee to steer their own career development plan, offering horizontal and vertical options.

Cons

Each team has a lot of freedom in the way it organizes, while this may be good in general, it turns out I had two opposite experiences in the two teams I was. In the first team I felt valued, was pressed sometimes but supported we were 8 people when most and worked in sync with sibling teams in other parts of the world and with other closely related teams. In my second team we were 16 people under one manager but were in fact two different teams in charge of different products. But when you were oncall you were for all the products, even those you don't know. Also the development environment was unmaintained, making a pain to develop anything since you had to always deploy to a test environment to see any result. I only felt supported in this team when a tenured SDEIII joined the team, but he was overloaded, so he couldn't help too much.

Pros

Excellent pay/benefits, Safety first mindset, flexible scheduling, fantastic training program, phenomenal team support, convenient locations. Plenty of pathways for career advancement and full support for self promotion. Culture is fantastic. You really can be yourself and make many new friends fast. Teamwork is outstanding. Everyone is always willing to help.

Cons

Growing so fast that it's hard to keep the same manager. I've had four managers in two months. Constantly have to adapt to new procedures and changes and working locations. Always in a state of flux. Standards keep changing all the time
