Pros

Good pay and benefits. A great way to build experience.

Cons

Stressful job. On call. Ask to work alot outside work hours. Bad management. Management is just a middle man that is clueless about a lot of things. When you start talking to other engineers about issues because it is easier you get chewed out from your manager for overstepping or going behind their back.

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.
