Pros

- Fantastic Benefits - Great work environment - The people are generally very nice and very capable - Easy access to everyone in the company (including upper management) - Huge amount of responsibility given to new engineers - If you want to work on something specific and you ask for it, they will make it happen - Equity in the company - Excellent pay if you demonstrate that you are worth it - Your changes will be seen by millions of people each month - The company/department is always open to better ways of doing things if you suggest them in a respectful way Overall CSN is an amazing place to work, and your happiness level at the company is completely in your control. In tech they will throw you into the fire right away and expect a lot of you, but if you can deliver then the company will take care of you. The people who succeed here are outgoing, creative, and willing to put in effort to do well. If you just want to punch a clock, slack off on your work, and expect to get raises then you should look elsewhere. CSN truly is a meritocracy, and if you are a valuable asset to the company then you will be rewarded for that.

Cons

Things move so quickly that it can feel a bit out of control at times, and sometimes valuable projects get put onto the back burner because we just don't have time for them. This also means that people at all levels in the organization need to take initiative to get things done, since management doesn't always have time to hold your hand through every project. There are some other minor growing pains, software is adding a ton of new engineers and so the group is a little bottom heavy. This means less oversight and slightly reduced quality control. This gets better every day though, so not a big concern.
