      Pros

      Total ownership of your product means you are free to do what needs to be done to make your product the best it can be.

      Cons

      Each team has someone that is on call for your system, if stuff goes wrong it can lead to a horrible time for the developer (e.g., 2 am pages for a system that went down).

      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.
