Pros

Very fair and rigorous hiring practices lead to awesome hires and a very diverse, stimulating workforce. I’ve had team mates with all kinds of personal and professional backgrounds, and the most common thing about everybody is the relentless self motivation. I’ve also found moving internally to be very easy, so long as you have a good track record and maintain good relationships with your team/managers.

Cons

It’s a very isolated working culture, not very collaborative. Folks are expected to drive their own initiatives, and with aggressive goals set, it almost always feels like you’re fighting against the current.

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.
