Pros

snacks, event tickets, cool co-workers, centrally located, good entry-level position.

Cons

mindless repetitive work, poor mid-level managers who are not promoted on merit but on subjective management protocol, i.e. they like you or they don't- has nothing to do with your work ethic.

Pros

-interesting work w/ strong ownwership and responsibility -good people and company culture encouraging a work/life balance; very young -weekly one on one meetings with your direct manages to review work and development -reward top performers with compensation; some departments have put a strong emphasis on employee compensation -lots of PTO, adds up quickly over time -lots of independence

Cons

-while you have the opportunity to learn a lot with so much responsibility, there is not much true career development -many of the strategies seem to be very reactionary, comes from working at a fast pace, but means that you have to be ready to throw out your current goals and completely switch direction at a moment's notice
