      no work life balance. below average benefit package. bad working environment. regular overtime is expected. software engineer needs to carry pager to keep production system running. often gets waken up at 3am for issues in code not written by you.

      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.
