Pros

so far the pay and oppurtunity to grow seems appealing. i haven't gotten my feet wet to offer a positive opinion.

Cons

from viewing some of the commets thus far i think my biggest fear is that there is no work/life consideration. i have children and am a single mom. making money and being there for them go hand in hand.

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.
